(10 pt) You are working as part of a hurricane relief effort in Hati and and need to provide
water to a small community at a temporary shelter location. You have a Reverse Osmosis
Water Purification Unit (ROWPU) that draws water from a nearby stream. You must deliver
the treated water to a storage area about 14 mile away. The only pipe your team was able to
scrounge up is 600ft of 4" steel pipe and 700ft of 2" PVC. Fortunately, your team also
found a steel reducer to connect the two pipes. Based on the small pump you have and the
elevation gain required, the maximum head loss in the system is 60 feet. At a water
temperature of 40F, what flow rate can you expect from this system? Solve using the
equivalent length method. Report the answer in gpm. Stop after two iterations even if your
friction factors do not close to within two significant figures. fT for plastic =0.008
