already calculated = 26 psi from branch “1-2-3-4-5” of pipe is
Ktot is equal to 10.2 13.7 psi given
-Now we have to balance the system by finding the real
We continue backward by calculating the flow rate at Flow rate that is going to branch 6-7
every branch , because of the smiliratiy in branch”12-11-10-9-8” Q6-7 = Ktot. P5
And branch “8,13,14,15,16” , the balance is already achieved
Caution: the pressure P5 in the equation above is
equal to 26 psi which belong to the real pressure
At nipple 5 calculated from the longest branch
“1-2-3-4-5”
q
10 1 -we can use the hydraulic calulation to calculate the
p56 1.1
1.1101.10 .( 6 )1.85 . Equation2 Pressure at nipple”5” and the flow rate sent to branch:
c D56 4.87 ‘1-2-3-4-5” But the pressure at node 6 is unknown ,hence
The flow rate at node 6 is unknow as well ????
q
10 1 -The solution for this problem is to create 2 equations with
p56 1.1
1.1101.10 .( 6 )1.85 . Equation2 2 unknowns
c D56 4.87
Q6= Ktot 6 . P6 Equation 1 -We know that P6 = P5- p5 6 .
-Ktot is known , D5-6 is known , C is known &P5 is known -We know that Q6 = Ktot 6 . P6 . Equation 1
-P6 and Q6 are unknon
-We replace Equation 2 in equation 1 :
