Lecture 5
Pipe Networks
A hydraulic model is useful for examining the impact
of design and operation decisions.
Simple systems, such as those discussed in last
chapters can be solved using a hand calculator.
However, more complex systems require more effort
even for steady state conditions, but, as in simple
systems, the flow and pressure-head distribution
through a water distribution system must satisfy the
laws of conservation of mass and energy.
Pipe Networks
The equations to solve Pipe network must
satisfy the following condition:
The net flow into any junction must be zero
Q 0
The net head loss a round any closed loop must be
zero. The HGL at each junction must have one and
only one elevation
All head losses must satisfy the Moody and minorloss friction correlation
