Problem 4: (55 Marks)\ (a) A piping system (route highlighted in Red) is used to transfer water from a tank from point "

A

" to point "

B

" as shown in the figure. Water also enters at the top of the tank in order to maintain the liquid level at a constant height of

2.0m

above point "

A

". The water tank and the exit "

B

" are open to the atmosphere. The flow rate of water through the piping system is

0.78(m^(3))/(m)in

. Select a suitable line size using Schedule 40 pipe made of either plastic or steel of your choice (to be assumed) with either threaded fittings or flanged fittings (your choice).\ (b) Based on your original selection in part (a), please discuss what changes you could make to your design in order to reduce the line size.
