| Summary: | The improper design of water supply system due to the improper consideration to the losses
will cause a water shortage at certain area. Hence, it will cause the water supply does not
archive the demand in that area. This research is about the determination of the relationship
between head loss and the characteristic of piping system. The first objective in this research
is to determine the total head loss by using the Darcy-Weisbach equation and HazenWilliams
equation. Through this research, it shows that the head loss calculated by DarcyWeisbäch
equation have higher accuracy than using the Hazen-Williams equation. The loss
due
to the each component of the piping system also is ones of the objectives in this research
and
it were determined and compared with the theoretical methods. From this research, it
shows
the minor head loss is increases when the flow rate increases for every component in
piping
system and the least percentage of difference for minor head loss is around
6.45
%
for
globe valve. The total head losses due to various temperatures also were determined and
compared by using Hazen-Williams equation and Darcy-Weisbach equation. The head loss
given by-the Darcy-Weisbacli equation is closer-to the experimental-bead loss compared toHazen-Williams
equation. The relationship between head loss and flow rate in piping system
also
were determined in this research. The finding in this research shows that the total head
loss is increases when the flow rate also increases. In
'a nutshell, this research is important to
provide more information regarding to the head loss for the future researches also can
minimize the error during design the water supply system. |
