2. Determine the fire flow required for a residential area consisting of homes of ordinary construction, 2500 ft? in area, 10 ft apart. What total volume of water must be provided to satisfy the fire demand of this area?
A water tower will be built to store water produced for needed fire flow. The design of the water tank will be cylindrical with a bottom radius of 50 ft. The service area has 20 one-story warehouses; all warehouses are noncombustible structures, and their average floor area is 0.50 acre. The sum of exposure and communication factors is 0.60 for each warehouse. What will be the needed fire flow (in GPM)? What will be the volume of water (in m3) that needs to be produced and stored in the water tank? What will be the gage pressure (in psi) at the bottom of the water tank?
A water supply system is being designed to serve a new community with an expected population of 28,000 people. The community will also have a 40,000 square foot auditorium, built of fire-resistive construction. What should be the design flow capacity of the main distribution pipeline (gpm)? What is the needed fire flow (gpm) and duration (hr)? What volume of reservoir or storage tank is required (gal)? Design flow capacity (gpm): .756 Needed Fire Flow (gpm): 17.05 NFF Duration (hr): 39.22 Reservoir capacity (gal): 20.25*10^8
A moderate-scale residential area consists of 60 unit double storey terrace houses, 40 unit double storey semi detached houses and 20 unit single storey bungalow houses with ordinary construction and the floor area of 2480, 2912 and 3500 square feet, respectively. With the aid of following information, estimate the fire demand and the total flow required in one day. Table 1: Estimated Water Demand Rate for Planning of External Water Reticulation System Type of Premises/Buildings Low cost terrace house / low cost flat Single storey terrace house / low cost house (less than RM25,000) / low medium & medium cost flats Double storey terrace house / high cost flat / apartment / town house Semi detached house / cluster Bungalow/ condominium Required fire flow (litre/minute) 8505 (>2250 gpm) 1500/unit Uniform Technical Guidelines, Suruhanjaya Perkhidmatan Air Negara (SPAN) Table 2: Residential flow duration 2000/unit 2000/unit Duration (hour) 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
