This small version is limited to systems of 26 nodes, 22 pipes, 16 valves and
fittings and 2 pumps. With these limitations it is able to retrieve all the
HYDROFLO sample problems. It will only allow you to create 10 loops and 5
branches. Once installed (see below), the HN.DOC file can be printed. It is
the HYDRONET full-featured version manual and is therefore very large.

INTRODUCTION
HYDRONET is a hydraulic network analysis tool based on the popular
Hardy-Cross method. A hydraulic network is a closed pressurized
fluid distribution system made up of pipes, fittings, valves, pumps
and reservoirs. Examples of networks are industrial fluid conveyance,
municipal water supply, fire protection sprinkler, petroleum transport
and recirculating HVAC systems. In a network, many interconnected
conveyance lines deliver liquids to numerous destinations simultaneously.
The change in flow through any single pipe influences the flow in all
other regions of the network. The engineer must know the operational
steady-state flows and pressures throughout the system so that pipe and
pump sizes and system strengths can be specified to meet cost and safety
criteria. These steady-state flows and pressures can only be determined
through an iterative flow adjustment process. The Hardy-Cross method
lends itself to this task and, with the help of computers, the analysis
of hydraulic networks becomes a straight forward process. Once a system
is defined by describing the components in detail, various operational
strategies can be investigated.
The full featured version of HYDRONET provides the ability to model large
systems of up to three thousand nodes and three thousand pipes, valves,
fittings and pumps. Saving of datafiles, report output to file or printer
and digitizer support is also available. This small version is limited to
systems of 26 nodes, 22 pipes, 16 valves and fittings and 2 pumps. With these
limitations it is able to retrieve all the HYDROFLO sample problems. It will
only allow you to create 10 loops and 5 branches. By using the Hazen-
Williams and Darcy-Wiesbach equations to determine pipe head losses, any
type of incompressible fluid can be modeled in an analysis when the proper
fluid properties and pipe conditions are known. HYDRONET also provides
plots of the 2-dimensional system plan view, 3-dimensional view of the
overall system, hydraulic grade lines and pump performance curves. A
complete menu of fittings and valves are available for incorporation into
hydraulic systems. Various control valves can be modeled and will
accurately simulate their physical operating characteristics. If you have
a Summagraphics or compatible graphics tablet (digitizer), x-y coordinates
for nodes can easily be entered and 2D and 3D system graphics can rapidly be
created.
INSTALLATION
INSTALL is the installation program and must be run before using the small
version of HYDRONET. You must have 700K of space available on your hard
disk to install this version. After starting your computer (booting-up),
place the HYDRONET diskette in a floppy drive and type...
drive:INSTALL where "drive" is the floppy drive holding the diskette.
You will be prompted for the source drive and destination path to install
HYDRONET in. You may print the HN.DOC file. It is quite large, being the
full featured HYDRONET documentation.
NOTE: HYDRONET uses overlay technology so execution speed will be enhanced
when you use disk cache software.
To start the small version of HYDRONET, move to the directory where you
installed HYDRONET and at the DOS prompt type SMHN. You then must specify
the type of display adapter you have. HYDRONET will take a few seconds to
load.
