Hydraulic Analysis of the Water Supply System in Town Nevesinje
Journal Title: Machine Design - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 4
Abstract
The water supply network is an essential part of water supply system. It has a task to provide distribution of necessary quantities of water under appropriate pressure from the source to each consumer while keeping the process cost sensitive. In this paper, a hydraulic design of water supply network of the town of Nevesinje, Bosnia and Herzegovina, have been conducted applying an original and newly developed numerical model for simulation and calculation of pipe networks in steady operating conditions. This model is created in Visual Fortran and is used for simultaneous solving of systems of equations which describe a steady flow in pipe networks, regardless of the number of pipes and nodes. The system of equations is solved by the Newton-Raphson Method. The results obtained by the numerical model have been compared with those obtained by means of the commercial software AFT Fathom 6.0. Based on good matching of the compared results it can be concluded that the developed numerical model is applicable in engineering practice.
