Question: A 1 3 0 0 ft long pipe delivers 1 1 0 ft 3 / sec . The roughness of the pipe is 0 .

A 1300 ft long pipe delivers 110 ft3/sec. The roughness of the pipe is 0.0028 inches and the diameter is 24 inches. The pressure at the end of the pipe should be at least 30 psi (pound per square inches). Assumptions are the flow is complete turbulence; the pipe is horizontal; there is no minor loss; and, if needed, the speicific weight of water in US unit is 62.4 lbf/ft3. Compute the required pressure (psi) at the entrance of the pipe.
