A pump is to be placed 0.1m above the ground. Determine the head that the pump needs to produce in order to deliver water at 425kpa, 4.05m above the outlet of the pump at a flow rate of at least 750 liters/min at a temp of 70 degrees C. The water in the tank is at 0 psig. It travels 2m horizontally before reaching the pump, which is 0.25m wide. The water then travels another meter before going through a 90 degree elbow and travelling 4.05m vertically before going through another 90 degree elbow to the gauge measuring the pressure as 425kpa. Determine the relative roughness for the pipe (/D) as well. Assume the kL for the 90 degree elbows is 0.3
