A water tower that is 90 ft high provides water to a residential subdivision. The water main from thetower to the subdivision is 6 in. sch 40 steel, 3 miles long. If each house uses a maximum of 50 gal/h (atpeak demand) and the pressure in the water main is not to be less than 30 psig at any point, how manyhomes can be served by the water main?Following are the number of valves and fittings:2 standard 90-degree elbowsTwo completely open valves, one after the tank and the other before exiting the water main29 standard coupling (K= 0.04)You noticed that the current piping system, which is above the ground, is vulnerable to tampering. Twocouplings and two standard 90-degree elbows would be required if the water main was buried 6 feetunderground. Will you be able to serve the same number of households as you did previously? Why?Please start by stating all of your assumptions and design considerations.Tips:Solve both conditionsUnderground and ground

For a 100 MW hydro power plant, calculate the water volumetric flow ratefor the 3 head values of 50m, 100m and 300m. Assume effective head to be85% of the gross head.
Given the following average hourly demand rates in gallons per minute, (a) findthe uniform 24-hour pumping rate and the required storage necessary to supply for this demand;(b) if the period of pumping is 12 hours (from 12 am to 12 pm) find the required storage.
A gravity settling tank is to be used to clean wastewater for an oil refinery. The wastewater contains 1% oil by volume as small droplets ranging from 100 to 1000 microns which will be removed from the water before the latter is to be discharged into the river. The tank is of rectangular section 2 ft wide by 4 ft deep with provisions for smooth continuous discharge of clean water and skimming off of oil at the surface of the discharge end. If 10,000 gal/min of wastewater is to be cleaned of oil droplets, calculate the length of the settling tank. The specific gravity of oil is 0.87. For water, p = 1000 and μ = 1 cP.

For what velocity of flow of water in a new, clean 6-inch schedule 40 steel pipe would an energy loss of 20 feet of head occur over a length of 1,000 ft? Compute the volume flow rate at that velocity. Then refigure the velocity using the design value of Ch for steel pipe.
Example A storm water drain with a flow of 40 L/s and chloride concentration of 1200 mg/L is discharging into a small stream. The stream flow is 2.0 m3/s and chloride cóncentration of 20 mg/L. Calculate the chloride concentration in the stream after the discharge point. Assume steady state with complete mixing and no reaction.
Gravity pressure systems are inherently associated with elevated storage. A storage facility provides reservoir in which the inflow and outflow of water can better match the hourly consumer demand and can be a supply source during emergency situations such as interruptions in the normal supply service or heavy demands for firefighting. Describe the gravity pressure systems, as you describe the two types of tanks that maybe used in this system
A tank is going to be installed at the top of a hill to serve an industrial park located at the base of the hill. The bottom of the tank is estimated to be 200 ft above the point of connection to the water main in the industrial park served by the elevated tank. It is further estimated that the pipe from the tank to the centre of the industrial park will be 500 ft in length including equivalent lengths for fittings and valves. What is the maximum water flow that would be available at the centre of the industrial park if the pipe material is lined ductile iron (Hazen- Williams C-factor of 140) with an actual inside diameter of 8.27 in.? Note that no other pressure producing devices, such as pumps, will be used.
