Using Eq. 216 gives V= QIA = 3/0.349 = 8.60 ft/s (262.128 cm/s); hF = 0.38(2.6)
(8.60)L86/0.667L25 - 89.7 ft (27.34 m).


  1. Alternatively, determine hF using Eq. 20
    First obtain the appropriate/value from Fig. 8, or/= 0.020 for this pipe. Then hF =
    0.020(2.600/0.667)(8.60^2 /64.4) = 89.6 ft (27.31 m).

  2. Compute the pressure at the pump discharge
    Use Eq. 9. Since LID > 500, ignore the secondary items. Then/Vw = Z 2 + hF = 180 + 89.6
    = 269.6 ft (82.17 Tn) 9 P 1 = 269.6(62.4)7144 =117 lb/in^2 (806.7 kPa).
