A liquid flows through a piping system from P1 to the top of a structure at P2
The entire piping system is 4 sch 40 pipe
The piping system is intended to provide liquid at a rate of 80gpm
while maintaining a P2 pressure of 30 psig.
The flowrate at P1 and P2 are the same. (ie.. there is no splitting or branching of the flow)
The friction factor, f(fanning), can be assumed to be 0.008
Given:
The density of water is 62.4lbmft3
The specific gravity of the fluid is 0.85
The viscosity of the fluid is 5cP
The piping system is shown above and contains the following fittings:
1290 degree bends; K=8f
13 gate valves ;K=8f
2 check valves; K=30f
8 tee runs ; K=16f
3 tee branches ; K=46f
The piping system dimensions are as follows: A=29ft;B=195ft;C=80ft
What is the volumetric flow, ft3s, through the pipe?
 A liquid flows through a piping system from P1 to the
