A 5-inch diameter 100-ft long pipe conveys 200 gpm of liquefied natural 

A 5-inch diameter 100-ft long pipe conveys 200 gpm of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from point A to point B. Point A is located 10 ft above a horizontal datum. Point B is located 20 ft lower than point A. The LNG has a specific gravity of 0.42. The pressure at point A is 25 psi. (a) the average velocity of the LNG (ft/s), (b) velocity head (report it in ft, and note that by default since the fluid is LNG this is "ft of LNG") (c) pressure head at point A (use the specific weight of LNG in this calculation so units are feet of LNG), (d) total head at point A (referenced to the horizontal datum), (e) the pressure at point B if there is no headloss, (f) the pressure at point B if headloss is 4 inches per 10 ft of pipe length.
