The following picture represents a network of interconnected pipelines. The arrows represent the flow measured by ft³ per minutes. The values above the arrows represent the flow in the given segment, the flow is regulated by the valves at the intersections. Of course the amount of water per minute entering each connection, has to be equal to the amount of water exiting the connection. This leads to five equations. 20 1. Write down the system of linear equations that represents the flow at each relevant valve. 2. Find the augmented matrix and its row reduced echelon form. 3. How many solutions are there? Notice that the valves allow only one direction for the flow. This means that we require each r; not to be negative. A solution with all positive r; is called feasible. 4. Express all the feasible solutions in terms of inequalities. 5. Suppose you will need to repair the pipe between connections A and B, you will want to have the flow between A and B as minimal as possible. What is the minimal value of re to have a feasible solution. 6. Using what you found in the previous answer write all the values of rị, for i = 1, ...,6 and make sure they are a solution of your system. 7. What happens if you reverse the flow in the segment BD (by substituting the valve)? Find the minimal value of re that gives you a feasible solution.

Transcribed Image Text:The following picture represents a network of interconnected pipelines. The arrows represent the flow
measured by ft³ per minutes. The values above the arrows represent the flow in the given segment,
the flow is regulated by the valves at the intersections.
Of course the amount of water per minute entering each connection, has to be equal to the amount of
water exiting the connection. This leads to five equations.
