    Project Calculations

    The document calculates the capacity requirements for an underground water tank, building water pump, and water heaters. It determines that the underground tank capacity is 16,800 gallons based on the number of people, water demand per person, and storage days. It then calculates that the water pump needs to supply 70 GPM of water based on the number and type of fixtures, and that the pump pressure needs to be 42 meters to overcome static head, friction losses, and residual pressure. It also determines that four 1.5 kW water heaters with 6 gallon capacities are needed based on the number of bathroom groups and water heating calculations.

    Tank capacity

    Underground tank capacity = No of persons * water demand per person * no of storage days
    Underground tank capacity = 300 * 28 *2 = 16800 gallons = 65 m3

    Pump calculations
    Each floor has 3 lavatories, 3 urinal and 9 WC.
    WC (flush valve) = 10 WFUS
    Urinal (flush valve) = 5 WFUS
    Lavatory = 1.5 WFUS
    WFUS in each floor = 3*1.5 + 3*5 + 9*10 = 109.5 WFUS
    All WFUS in the building = 219 WFUS
    219WFUS = 70 GPM
    Q pump = 70 GPM = 4.4 L/sec

    P pump = Static pressure + Friction loss + Residual pressure

    Static head = 10 m
    Friction loss = (6* (3.2/100) + 4* (3.9/100) + 73* (14.1/100)) * 1.3
    Friction loss = 14 m
    Residual pressure for the flush valve WC (The most distant device) = 1.7 bar = 17.5 m

    P pump = 10 + 14 + 17.5 = 41.5 m = 42 m


    Water heater calculations

    One water heater for every bathroom group (3 Lavatories)


    So, we need 4 Water heaters for the project
    Water heater capacity = GPH * Demand factor * Storage factor
    Water heater capacity = 15 * 0.4 * 1 = 6 Gallon = 25 Liter

    Q Water heater = Mo * Cp* (Th-Tc)


    Cp = 4.186 KJ/ kg.k
    Th-Tc = 55 oC
    Q Water heater = 1.5 KW
