A fire protection system is supplied from a water tower and standpipe 80ft tall. The longest pipe in the system is 600ft and is made of cast iron about 20 years old ( = 0.0017 ft). The pipe contains one gate valve (K = 0.246); other minor losses may be neglected. The pipe diameter is 4in. Determine the maximum rate of flow through this pipe. Hint: v= 1.21 x 10-5 ft²/s.
