Question

An industrial water-distribution system is schematically shown in Figure P4.4.4. The demands on
the system are currently at junctions D (0.550m^3/s) and E(0.450m^3/s). Water enters the
system at junction A from a storage tank (surface elevation of 355.0m ). All pipes are concrete
(e= 0. 36mm) with lengths and diameters provided in the table below. In addition, the elevations
of the junctions are given in the table below. Calculate the flow rate in each pipe (initial estimated
flows are provided). Also determine if the pressure at each junction exceeds 185kPa , a require-
ment of the water company by the industrial park
