A water piping system is 3000 ft of NPS 20-inch pipe that has three gate valves, one globe valve, one lift check valve, and two standard tees through the flow. Calculate the total pipe length that will include all the straight pipe and valves and fittings. Calculate the pressure drop due to friction if the average flow rate is assumed to be 6.7 ft3/s. Take the value of the Darcy friction factor from Prob (1).
