W1 - Pipe Network Analysis

The document provides information about pipeline and open channel hydraulics taught in the course KNS 2153. It discusses topics like pipe networks, pipe branching, head balance and quantity balance methods. The head balance method is the Hardy Cross Method for analyzing pipe networks. The quantity balance method is the Nodal Method for pipe branching problems. Formulas for head loss and calculating flow in pipes are also presented. An example problem demonstrates using the Hardy Cross Method to calculate flow in each pipe of a network through iterative corrections.

HEAD LOSS AND Q RELATIONSHIP

Formula Head Loss,

  where L(m), Q(/s), D(m)


•  
Neglecting losses other than friction for any pipe, head loss, h can be written as,
……………………………………………………………..(1)
Where Q = volume rate of flow in pipe,
K = resistance coefficient
n = An exponent
…………………………………………………………(2)
Where is an assume discharge which under estimates the
actual discharge by a small value .

Substituting (2) into (1) and expanding by the binomial theorem (neglecting terms containing and higher
powers.
= +)

For a loop, = 0, thus


………………………………………….(3)

In order to satisfy continuity requirements at each Junction, the value of SQ must be the same in each
pipe. Thus the equation (3) gives
PROCEDURES
(HARDY CROSS METHOD)
•1.   Assume any distribution of flow in each pipe.
2. Calculate head loss, in each pipe (clockwise (+) and counter-
clockwise (-)).
3. Summing up the head losses algebraically (tor each loop).
= (Darcy) or = (Hazen)
4. Calculate = for each loop.
5. Compute Q and obtain a new flow distribution in the loop.
6. Use the revised flows to repeat 1,2,3,4 and 5, until the desired
precision is attained.

• Analyse the flow through the pipes of the following network.
Assume f=0.005 for all pipes.

all pipes. If the elevation and pressure head at point A are given as 61m and 45.72m
respectively and the elevation of point D is 30.5m, compute:
a) The flow in each pipe

SOLUTION
QUANTITY BALANCE METHOD
(FOR PIPE BRANCHING)

A typical problem concerns the analysis of flow in a simple system


linking three or more reservoirs. This system must satisfy two basic
conditions.

1. Total amount of water brought by pipes to the junction must


always equal to that carried away from the junction by other
pipes.
2. All pipes that meet at the junction must share the same pressure
at the junction.
PROCEDURES (NODAL
METHOD)
•   Assume the pressure head (Hj) at the junction.
1.
2. Calculate the discharge between reservoir and junction. If Q=0, the problem
solved, otherwise
3. Calculate= - and subtract it to the original Hj to give a more correct value of
pressure head at junction

Error

Originally assumed value

Corrected value
4. Repeat the above process until continuity requirements are satisfied (Q=0)
