WATER DEMAND
The average water demand for the proposed office block is tabulated as below
Water Demand
Item Description Unit
( gallon/day )
1 Office 1 6,159
For easy calculation, the suction is proposed to be 2,369 gallons (12 m3)
Adopt 6 hours pumping daily (for office it is required to be less than 8 hours
pumping)
= 1026.5 gallon/hr
= 1026.5/220
= 4.6660 m³/hr
= 0.0778m³/min
= 1.2961 x 10-3m³/sec
For the calculation of the frictional losses, use the Hazen - Williams Formula as
follows:
I = 10.666Q1.85
C1.85 x D4.87
Hf = I x L
Where : I = Hydraulic gradient
Q = Quantity of flow (m3/s) = 4.6660 m3/hr
= 1.2961 x 10-3m³/sec
C = Flow velocity coefficient
Stainless steel pipes : 110
D = Pipe diameter (m), 0.05 m (50 mm)
L = Total length of pipe line (m)
I = 10.666Q1.85
C1.85 x D4.87
= 10.666(1.2961 x 10-3)1.85
1101.85 x 0.054.87
= 10.666(4.5538 x 10-6)
5978.283 x 4.613 x 10-7
= 4.8572 x 10-5
2.7578 x 10-3
= 1.7612 x 10-2
Details of piping

2g
At suction, k=2.16
v=1.650 x 10-1m/s
g=9.81m/s2
Hf,fitting = 2.16 x(1.650 x 10-1m)²
2 x 9.81
=2.997 x 10-3m
At Delivery, k=6.13
v=6.601 x 10-1 m/s
g=9.81m/s-2
Hf,fitting = 6.13 x(6.601 x 10-1)²
2 x 9.81
= 1.3613 x 10-1m
Velocity in pipe

Summary of performance
Using the data given above, wkW = 9.81 x 17 x 1.2961 x 10-3 x 1.0
= 0.2 kW
H = 10.63 m
Q = 4.6660 m3/hr = 1.2961 x 10-3 m3/s
