Essay / Research Paper Abstract
This 8 page paper examines the different aspects of water flow that need to be considered when designing a pipe system. These include water flow, velocity, friction loss and pressure as well as pipe material and the need to remember peak demand. The bibliography cites 3 sources.

normal demand and may also meet demand where peeks occur without the users suffering. In the case supplied by the student there is a school and an office block as
well as forty five houses. By looking at experiments undertake the student should already have figures given that will indicate suitable figures to be used for the flow of
water and how it may be measured. To understand how these may be used the relationship between the different factors should be comprehended in full and then applied to the
problem. Where there is higher pressures water will flow at a faster rate, this is true regardless of the pipe size. However, there is also a drawback with increased
pressure if not dealt with correctly that can be problematic in water pipes. Where the flow also increases there will be loss caused by friction downstream, with the higher flow
level also creating a higher level of friction where velocity is increasing. Buy looking at some different types of pie and the way water flows through them the interrelationship can
be realised with this in mind pipes can then be considered. As the student has not provided list of the choices they have they will need to apply this information
to the relevant design. If there is a small pipe, an example to help the student visualise this may be a garden hose there will be higher pressure if
there is a nozzle on the end that is half closed. This means the water is coming out at a faster velocity due to the increased pressure this creates, and
is seen with a jet of water from the end (GEA, 2003). When the nozzle is opened fully the flow will increase, but the velocity will be lower and there
