Design of a water supply system

AI Thread Summary
To identify water demand in an area, it is essential to contact the local water utility, as they possess the necessary data. The willingness of the utility to share this information may vary based on the purpose of the inquiry. Understanding local demographics and usage patterns can also aid in estimating demand. Additionally, consulting regional planning documents may provide insights into projected water needs. Accurate assessment of water demand is crucial for effective water supply system design.

Welcome to the PF. If I understand your question, you would contact the water company for your local area (the company/utility where you pay your water bill). They will have all the numbers. Whether they would be willing to share them with you is another question. The answer would probably depend on why you are asking.
 

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'Dry sump pump issue'

I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
