A pumped fluid distribution system is being designed to deliver 400 gal/min of water to a cooling system in a power generation plant. Use the figure below to make an initial selection of Schedule 40 pipe sizes for the suction and discharge lines for the system. Also, solve for the actual average velocity of flow for each pipe.
