Introduction From the discussion of water pollution and water treatment in Unit II, we now transition to analyzing piping systems. This lesson begins with a presentation of fundamental hydraulic principles and then goes deeper into piping systems for water distribution and sanitary sewers. Hydraulics refers to the study of water, either stationary or flowing. An understanding of hydraulics is integral to environmental technology. Environmental technology deals with treatment of pollution for the purpose of a better and safer environment. Water distribution piping is needed to deliver safe, drinkable water from a drinking water treatment plant to customers. Following water use, sanitary sewer piping transports dirty water from customers to a wastewater treatment plant. A wastewater treatment plant treats water so that it can be discharged to the environment—typically to a river.

1. QUESTION 1 Match each item to the appropriate answer. A. 0.77 ft2 Pressure B. 0.75 m3/s Standard atmospheric pressure C. 14.7 psi What is the pressure at 15 ft under water? D. 0.037 m3/s (37 liter/s) 10 ft3/s E. 0.44 m3/s What is the flow rate of water in a pipe flowing full with an area of 0.3 m2 and velocity of 2.5 m/s? F. Flow rate times slope G. 6.45 psi What is a pipe’s inside cross-sectional area, if the inside diameter is 11.9 inches? Referring to Figure 2-12 on page 31 in the textbook, if QA=3 ft3/s and QC=1.7 ft3/s, what is QB? H. 1.3 ft3/s I. 4488 gal/min J. 0.29 ft3/s If a 400-mm diameter pipe with a pipe roughness coefficient of 100 flows full of pressurized water with a head loss of 0.4 ft per 1,000 ft of pipeline, what is the flow rate? Use the Hazen-Williams method. If a 1-m diameter sewer pipe is flowing at a depth of 0.4 m and has a flow rate of 0.15 m3/s, what will be the flow rate when the pipe flows full? What is the flow rate through a V-notch weir having a head of 0.42 ft? K. Force divided by area QUESTION 2 1. For a water distribution system, explain the purpose of a gridiron piping layout, fire hydrants, backflow prevention, thrust restraints, and distribution storage. Your response should be at least 200 words in length. QUESTION 3 1. For a sanitary sewer collection system, identify the purpose of a suitable pipe material, proper pipe velocity, lift stations, proper pipe bedding, and minimal infiltration and inflow. Your response should be at least 200 words in length.
