Hi All:

I am using WaterCAD to analyze Constituent Concentrations (Chlorine) for a new water distribution system. All the pipes in the system are 4in and 6in PVC pipes.
Does anyone know what first order Bulk Reaction and Wall Reaction rates should I use in my model? So far I found some values for the effective decay constant – units of 1/time for different pipes depending on the diameter and age of the pipe, but for the input in WaterCAD I need to use a wall decay rate that has units of length/time. Any thoughts?
