A water tower has a height of 90ft above the ground. The water in the tower flows through 450ft of pipe with a diameter D=5in. The friction factor is 0.035. The water then discharges from the pipe into the atmosphere. The distance between the discharge point and the water level in the tower is 90ft. The water tower is properly vented, meaning the pressure of the air inside the tank equals the local atmospheric pressure. You may use standard properties of water in your calculations. What is the discharge velocity of the flow?
