Question: A liquid flows through a piping system from P 1 to the top of a structure at P 2 Sections A and B are 2

A liquid flows through a piping system from P1 to the top of a structure at P2 Sections A and B are 2 sch 40 pipe
The pump suction piping is 2 sch 40 pipe AND CAN BE ASSUMED FRICTIONLESS Section C is 1.5 sch 40 pipe
The piping system is intended to provide liquid at a rate of 35gpm while maintaining a P2 pressure of 3 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 0.006
The pump efficiency can be assumed to be 43%
Given:
The density of water is 62.4lbmft3
The specific gravity of the fluid is 0.85
The viscosity of the fluid is 10cP
The vapor pressure of the fluid is 5 psia
 A liquid flows through a piping system from P1 to the
