Step 4. Similar calculations for the 2-MGD pump
Step 5. For the 4-MGD pump
Step 6. For the 3 MGD: using the 1- and 2-MGD capacity pumps
Step 7. For the 5 MGD: using the 1- and 4-MGD capacity pumps
Step 8. For the 6 MGD: using the 2- and 4-MGD capacity pumps
Step 9. For the 7 MGD: using all 3 pumps simultaneously
Hazen–Williams equation. Due to the difficulty of using the Darcy–
Weisback equation for pipe flow, engineers continue to make use of an expo-
nential equation with empirical methods for determining friction losses in
pipe flows. Among these the empirical formula of the Hazen–Williams
equation is most widely used to express flow relations in pressure conduits,
while the Manning equation is used for flow relations in free-flow conduits
and in pipes partially full. The Hazen-Williams equation, originally devel-
oped for the British measurement system, has the following form:
