Hi,
I'm new to the forum and EPANET as well. I need to do a fire flow analysis for a relatively short line of 8" PVC that will have 2 new fire hydrants connected to an existing system. I don't have static pressure information for the existing hydrant but the residual was measured at 103 psi, and the flow at 826.20 gpm. I am unsure about how to set up the initial conditions (at the existing) in my system, if it should be considered a tank or reservoir, and what inputs I should use to model the fire flow correctly. I will attach what I have thus far, and hopefully someone will have a good idea on how I should proceed. Thank you for your time!! (Sorry, I had to edit the attachment because I noticed the elevations were not added to the junctions.)
