Description
Given the population of a water supply system, the per capita consumption, the maximum consumption day coefficient, and the daily operation hours, calculates the production flow of the system.
Inputs
Parameter | Default Units | Description |
|---|---|---|
Resident population | - | Total number of permanent residents in the system. |
Floating population | - | Number of non-residents who temporarily use the system. |
Temporary population | - | Number of people using the system for limited periods. |
Average per capita consumption applicable to resident and floating populations | - | Average daily water consumption per person (liters). |
Average per capita consumption applicable to temporary population | - | Average daily water consumption per temporary person (liters). |
Coefficient of the highest consumption day ($k_1$) | - | Factor accounting for peak day demand. |
Industrial flow | L/s | Daily industrial water consumption in liters per second. |
Daily operating time | h | Number of hours the system operates daily. |
Output
Parameter | Default Units | Description |
|---|---|---|
Production flow | L/s | Required flow to meet the system's total demand. |
production flow
