A homeowner is interested in supplying water (at 20 °C) to her one-story house that is 5 m above the elevationof the water main. However, she is concerned about lack of water pressure. She hired you as an engineer todetermine if there will be sufficient pressure to supply the house at flow rate of 10 L/min through a 1.5 cmcopper pipe. The pressure at the water main is 70 psi and according to the plumbing code, flush valves require25 psi, regular water fixtures require 15 psi, and showers require 15 psi.
Can I get a thorough step by step for the following question? Based on the layout of the water supply system, how much pressure in psi will be available at the facet of the 2nd floor of the residential building as show in Figure 1? Do you think that the pressure is enough for the building? Consider flow through the delivery pipe, Q = 2.5 cfs (0.071 m⅘⅗) and diameter of the pipe. D = 4 inch (101.6-mm). Ingore the minor pressure losses and use the following formulae to calculate the major pressure losses.
Find the flow rate (gpm) and the exit velocity from the showerhead holes (m/s).
Do not attempt wrong. If not sure let others expert do it. Don't waste it. Water is withdrawn with differential daily flowrate over 3 days from a groundwater well in a confined aquifer of T = 180m ^ 2 / d * ay Calculate the flowrate during the second day at an observation well 60m away from the main well, given that the discharge for the first day is 125 L/s and for the third day is 100L/s. The total head drop over the three days is 17m. The volume released per unit volume of aquifer per unit drop in the phreatic surface is 0.007.
