11) Question.
The method of analysis of distribution system in which the domestic supply is neglected and fire demand is considered is
Answer.In the circle method of analysis of a water distribution system, the domestic supply is neglected and only the fire demand is considered. The system is analysed by assuming flow around closed loops (circles) of the distribution network.
Equivalent pipe method → used to replace a group of pipes by an equivalent single pipe.
Electrical analysis method → uses analogy between water flow and electric current.
Hardy Cross method → used for pipe network analysis by balancing flows in loops.

12) Question.
The treatment of water with bleaching power is known as
Answer.Bleaching powder (CaOCl₂) is used to disinfect water by releasing hypochlorous acid (HOCl), which kills harmful microorganisms. This process is called hypochlorination because bleaching powder is a hypochlorite compound.
Hypochlorination ✅ = Disinfection using bleaching powder or hypochlorites.
Prechlorination = Chlorine is added before other treatment processes.
Superchlorination = A very high dose of chlorine is added.
Dechlorination = Excess chlorine is removed after chlorination.
