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

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.
