Question

▼ Analyze the water distribution system presented in the figure below. Use the Gradient-Based Method to solve the problem. Compare your flows and pressures with the flows and pressures provided

by EPANET for the same system. Use the flow directions that are provided. Your initial guess of flows shall be based on a velocity of 4 ft/sec in each pipe. Your initial guess of heads shall be 1300 ft for each junction node.
