determining the land use for each sub area. They thenapplied water use factors to determine water requirements. At this point a first cut at pipe sizeswas taken and pumps and a storage tank were added to the system. With the data assembled theH2 ONET program was run to evaluate pressures throughout the system. Since the students werewell versed in the use of AUTOCAD, using H2 ONET was a natural extension for them.However, there was still a learning curve both on how to utilize the program and how to evaluatethe results and make adjustments to the system design. The program made it easy to conduct“what if” questions and compare results of changes in pipe sizes. Several scenarios were runsuch as Q-maximum day plus fire flow in the city, Q-average day

. For this experiment, the students physically count the elbows, tees, contractions,valves, expansions and other instrumentation within the entire system. They alsomeasure the entire length of straight pipe that is contained by the fittings and valves. Inorder to determine how the fittings affect the system, the students identify theequivalent number of velocity heads for each piece of the system from publishedliterature. The data from the fittings and straight length of pipe is tabulated and a totaldischarge head is calculated. Since Equation 6 is dependent upon Q, the volumetricflow rate, the students use the data from the rotameter calibration in assigning a valuefor Q. For different values of Q, the students get a different value for

Alternatively, if the signal is not bandlimited, you could lowpass filter it tomake it bandlimited. Again, the effect of the decimation operation must be considered in the filterdesign to prevent aliasing. Once again, this provides an effortless segue into various importantDSP topics.
