Estimate the delivery when the pump is used to move water between two open reservoirs through \(1200 \mathrm{ft}\) of 12-in.-diameter commercial steel pipe containing two \(90^{\circ}\) elbows and an open gate valve if the elevation increase is \(50 \mathrm{ft}\). Determine the gate valve loss coefficient needed to reduce the volume flow rate by half.
