I learned how to perform the analysis for this pipe network system and managed to calculate the flow rate in this system. Besides, I have a deeper understanding in the major and minor losses. I can also define the pipe network system of a specified configuration in a building to be designed. I can also determined the required pump power to feed the water to the elevated reservoir in the given water feeding system.
