1. A 52-inch diameter transmission pipe carries 3,000 gallons per minute from an elevated storage tank with a water surface elevation of 1,345.6 feet. Six miles from the tank, at an elevation of 901.2 feet, a pressure meter reads 72 psi. If there are no pumps between the tank and the meter location, what is the rate of headloss in the pipe?
