MCE01a QUIZ 2

The document is a quiz containing two mechanical engineering problems related to plumbing and fire sprinkler design. The first problem involves calculating minimum pipe diameters for waste and vent stacks serving bathroom and kitchen fixtures in a residence. The second problem involves calculating the minimum number of sprinkler heads and rows needed to protect a large warehouse room, as well as the total flow rate of the sprinkler system.

QUIZ # 2
Name: Jamie P. Federizo MCE01a – Basic Mechanical Engineering

Score: 10
Course/Section/Class Schedule: BSCEIII-GA/ Date: NOVEMBER 17, 2022
TTH 3:30-5:00 p.m
Solve the following problems.

1. The following number and type of plumbing fixtures serve a residence: two bathtubs, three water
closets, three lavatories, one kitchen sink, and one dishwasher. The bathroom fixtures are served
by one set of waste and vent stacks. The kitchen fixtures are served by a second set of waste and
vent stacks. Assume the vent stacks extend through the roof and are 20 ft long.
Determine the minimum pipe diameter required for the kitchen fixtures: a.
The horizontal fixture branch
b. The waste stack at base of stack
c. The vent stack at top of stack
Determine the minimum pipe diameter required for the bathroom fixtures: d.
The horizontal fixture branch
e. The waste stack at base of stack
f. The vent stack at top of stack
2. A 184 ft by 242 ft room in a warehouse will be protected by individual fire sprinklers spaced
throughout the ceiling. Each sprinkler head covers a 10 ft by 10 ft area and will discharge
approximately 40 gal/min (gpm). Sprinkler heads are located in straight rows spaced at 10 ft on
center. For preliminary design, approximate the following: a. The minimum number of sprinkler
heads required
b. The minimum number of rows of sprinkler heads, if rows run transversely (widthwise) through
the building
c. The minimum number of rows of sprinkler heads, if rows run longitudinally (lengthwise) through
the building
d. The flow rate of the system, in gpm, based on the number of sprinkler heads.
