I think I was not very detailed in my explanation.
This is what happens:
There is a treatment plant with a reservoir which is the source of supply for the entire system (at an elevation of 2129 masl).
The entire system comprises of 9 tanks within the network. Once the water leaves the...
Thanks for your response.
That makes better sense in helping me understand the model.
I understand that it is the water level at the reservoir that governs the HGL in the system. Out of the 9 tanks in my stsyem, 4 are at about the same level and it is only one of them that has water filling...
Yes, the tanks at the treatment plant are at an elevation of 2129 masl, and the 9 tanks are all at elevations lower than this.
The results I am getting from the analysis show that there is flow into one tank, contributing to the demand.
I will try to see what happens if I augment the pipes to...
Thank you for your valued feedback.
I am , indeed, modelling the system at only one moment in time. It just represents the demands in general, and not at any particular time of the day.
I have not tried the EPS yet, but I will definitely give it a shot.
I tried to model a constant pumping...
Some water companies usually invest in insertion flowmeters when cases of leakage or low pressure arise, especially if the pipeline is designed to transmit that flow. It is an expensive investment, but by having tapping points at regular intervals of the pipeline you can narrow down to the area...
Hello everyone,
I am carrying out an analysis on KYPipe 2000 of the existing water distribution network a town to determine its adequacy to meet the present demand.
The supply comes from a Clear Water Tank at the Water Treatment Plant and is gravitated into the distribution network, which...
Hello to you all,
I have been using KYPipe for hydrualic analysis of gravity systems. I am analysing a gravity main (50.44km in length), starting off with a 600mm diameter and narrowing down to 500mm towards the end of the line. Along the length of the line, the pipeline diverges into 3...
