An explicit algorithm is presented for determining various design, operating, and calibration parameters required to satisfy a user specified set of time varying pressure conditions. The developed algorithm uses an iterative solution of an augmented set of hydraulic network equations to obtain an exact solution of the associated network parameters. The algorithm can be used by engineers to obtain exact designs of network components or the associated operating policies for pumps, valves, etc., for time varying conditions. The basic theory of the algorithm as well as several example applications of the algorithm will be presented.
