HYENA WORKSHOP
Objective
The object of
this workshop is to give attendees a basic grounding in the use and application
of the computer program HYENA so that they can on completion of the workshop,
perform basic hydraulic analysis of sprinkler and hydrant piping systems and
thereby provide them with the skills to build on this with subsequent practical
experience with the program. The
workshop is structured in such a way as to lead attendees progressively through
the input of the piping layout at the input point (s), discharges (sprinklers,
hydrants, etc. the entry of all of the parameters associated with these items
and the calculations. Attendees are
also lead through the results, learning the means by which these can be
reviewed and evaluated.
