Question: A liquid flows through a piping system from P 1 to the top of a structure at P 2 The entire piping system is 0

A liquid flows through a piping system from P1 to the top of a structure at P2 The entire piping system is 0.75 sch 40 pipe
The piping system supply pressure at P1 is 26 psig
The piping system is intended to provide liquid at a rate of 14gpm while maintaining a P2 pressure of 28 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 0.007
Given:
The density of water is 62.4lbmft3
The specific gravity of the fluid is 0.8
The viscosity of the fluid is 15cP
The piping system is shown above and contains the following fittings:
1490 degree bends; K=11f
12 gate valves ;K=8f
4 check valves ;K=30f
10 tee runs ;K=17f
4 tee branches ; K=40 f
The piping system dimensions are as follows: A=21ft;B=175ft;C=80ft
What is the volumetric flow, ft3s, through the pipe?
What is the velocity, fts?
What is the pressure drop, psi, due to the pipe?
What is the pressure drop, psi, due to the pipe and fittings?
What is the pressure drop, psi, due to the elevation change?
What is the required TDH,ft, of the pump?
What is the required hydraulic horsepower, hp?
 A liquid flows through a piping system from P1 to the
