Branching and Looping +problem

This document discusses branching and looping of pipes and pipe networks. It addresses: 1. Branching systems connect three or more reservoirs through pipes with one or more junctions. The aim is to determine discharge and flow direction given pipe diameters, lengths, and coefficients of friction. Continuity, Bernoulli, and Darcy-Weisbach equations are used. 2. Looping lays pipelines in parallel to main supply pipelines to minimize energy losses in the network. 3. Structural analysis predicts a structure's performance under loading conditions, determining stresses/stress resultants, deflections, and support reactions.

TOPIC
BRANCHING & lOOPING OF PIPES AND
PIPE NETWORK +PROBLEMS
SUBJECT:
APPLIED HYDRAULICS
MENTOR:
SIR FAHAD SHEIKH
Introduction:

In laying the pipes through the distribution area, the following
configuration can be distinguished:
1.Branching system (Tree) √
2.Grid system (Looped) √
3.Combined system
BRANCHNG PIPES:
When three or more reservoirs are connected by means of pipes having one
or more junctions then this arrangement is called as branching of pipe.

As shown in figure three reservoirs at different level are connected to a single


junction.
 Three reservoirs at different levels connected to a single junction by mean
of pipes are called as branched pipes.

 AIM:
The main aim to analyze branching of pipes is to determine the discharge
at given pipes ,diameters, lengths and co- efficient of frictions.
 so when diameters, lengths and co- efficient of friction of each pipe is
given and it is required to to find the discharge and direction of flow in
. each pipe ,the basic equation used for solving such type of problems are
Continuity equation
Bernoulli equation
Darcy weisbach equation
Applications.

The analysis of branched pipes is useful while studying or desining the city
water supply system which involving the number of pipe loops
Also in this case number of lines added in parallel to existing line when
demand increases.
Disadvantages:
In this system, there are large number of dead ends where water does not
circulate but remains static. Sediments accumulate due to stagnation of the
dead end and bacterial growth may occur at these points. To overcome this
problem drain valves are provided at dead ends and stagnant water is drained
out by periodically opening these valves but a large amount of water is wasted.
Looping of pipes:
Looping is a section of the pipeline, which is laid in parallel with the
main/supply pipeline. Distribution of expenses on Looping`s branches in
the valid movement minimizes dissipation in the flow and, consequently,
reduces the energy losses in the piping network. 
Why Structural Analysis??
Outcome of Structural Analysis
Structural analysis is the process of predicting the performance of a given
structure under a prescribed loading condition.
The performance characteristics usually of interest in structural design
are:
a) Stresses or stress resultants (i.e., axial forces, shears, and bending
moments);
b) Deflections; and
c) Support reactions.
