Dimensionamento de uma rede de abastecimento de água de uma área delimitada do município de Japi- RN com a utilização do Sistema UFC

Abstract

The water supply systems, although extremely important for proper access to drinking water to the population, attention problems still exist, especially in rural areas. It is essential that the system of water supply operate without flaws, being important a good conception of the project. With the progress of the technology, the tasks regarding a project of water supply have been facilitated, the several and repetitive necessary mathematical calculations to find the values of speed and pressure today in the net are made by models of hydraulic simulation, what guarantees economy of time and money. Inserted in that context, the present study had for objective general of dimensioning a net of distribution of water for public provisioning of an area delimited located in the city of Japi-RN through the program computational System UFC. With the file (dwg) containing the curves of levels and the municipality's street, file base for System UFC use, the characterization of the project area accomplished, horizon of defined project, elaborated population estimate, established implantation stages, level of fixed service, the consumption estimates and distribution flow made calculations, t was possible to size a network using the mentioned program. It was obtained as results the lengths of the passages, diameters of the piping, load losses, pressures and speeds. The UFC System has shown to design the sizing in a practical and fast way, as it performs all the tasks related to the sizing and hydraulic dimensioning of provisioning networks.
