Question: For the system shown in the figure below, estimate the diameter of the pipe if the pressure at section 2 cannot exceed 1 1 8

For the system shown in the figure below, estimate the diameter of the pipe if the pressure at
section 2 cannot exceed 118 kPa , g. Water at 25\deg C is discharging through the system at a rate
of 0.25(m^(3))/(s). The length of the pipe is 200 m , and the equivalent sand roughness is 0.18 mm .
The pump head is given by h_(p)=30-8Q^(2). The head h=28m. Neglect minor losses. [10]
Hint: Follow class problem for finding diameter. Use iterative solution. Remember the pipe
continues beyond the exit point.
For the system shown in the figure below,
