Problem #1Figure 1 shows the pipe network that you will analyze using EPANET and the Hazen-Williams equation in this problem. The Hazen-Williams coefficient (CHw) is 130 for all pipe in the network. Water enters the network at junctions A and F and exits the system at junctions C, D,and H. Table 1 tabulates the required flow rates into and out (i.e., demands) of the network. The length and diameter of each of the pipes in the network are summarized in Table 1. a) Provide a figure showing the pipe network you created in EPANET where the junction and pipe IDs are displayed. On the same figure, display the flow rates and corresponding flow directions (i.e., arrows).
