Question: Problem 2 : Calculate the combined head loss ( both pipe and minor losses ) and the head added by the pump at a flow

Problem 2: Calculate the combined head loss (both pipe and minor losses) and the head added by the pump at a flow rate of 50 gallons per minute.
System Data for Problem 2
Water 59F
, Elevation difference, z2-z1=57 feet
, Pipe Size, D=2.0 inches ID
Total pipe length, L=300 feet
KL entrance =0.50
KL Valve 1=2.0
,KL2'' to 1112" Contraction =0.08(applied to 112" suction)
KL1'' to 2'' Expansion =0.20(applied to 1'' discharge)
KL Valve 2=6.8
KL elbows =0.34(there are 3)
KL exit =1.05
