ENCE 3380 (Water Resources Engineering)
Spring 2020
Mini Project #1 (Assigned on 09/14/2018)
Total Points = 100 (Submission Deadline: beginning of the class on 02/24/2020)
The objective of this project is to compute the flow rate in pipes and pressure at each
junction node using both analytical procedure (e.g., Hardy Cross method) and
commercial software package such as using EPANET. The pipe and junction diagram
along with other necessary data are listed below.
Overview: Water distribution network schematic for a hypothetical neighborhood
consisting of apartments, an office and a school is as shown in the Figure 1. Each section
of the distribution network in the schematic has identified with type of developments to
develop initial estimates of the water demand for the end of the section node. Pipe
diameters for each section of the network are assigned based on the assumption. As part
of this project assignment, you will evaluate the flow through individual pipes and at the
nodes.
