Question: The influent pump station ( IPS ) shown in Figure 1 is conveying water from the river to the treatment plant, if the pipe is

The influent pump station (IPS) shown in Figure 1 is conveying water from the river to the treatment plant, if the pipe is 1,800 feet long and has a diameter of 10 inches and has the fittings shown below, determine the head losses at the following flows:
Use the Hazen-Williams formula (use C=120):
hL=0.002083L(100C)1.85Q1.85D4.8655
where hL= head loss, feet
L= length of pipe, feet
C = coefficient, Table 2
Q= quantity of flow, gallons per minute
D= diameter of pipe, inches
Minor losses formula:
hL=kV22g
where hL= head loss, feet (meters)
V= velocity, feet per second (meters per second)
k= loss coefficient
