A water tower is used to supply a fire protection system as shown in Figure 10.5. The water tower and the standpipe are 24.4 m tall. The long horizontal pipe is 182.9 m. It is made of cast iron. There is one gate valve at the end of the long pipe. Neglect any other minor losses. What is the maximum flowrate through the pipe? Determine the maximum flowrate when the pipe is new (8-0.26 mm) and when it is 20 years old (double the roughness due to corrosion).

Fluid Dynamics

The study of the flow of gases and liquids, usually in and around solid surfaces, is known as fluid dynamics in physics and engineering. Fluid dynamics, for example, can be used to evaluate the movement of air through an airplane wing or the surface of a vehicle. It can also be used in ship design to increase the speed at which ships pass through water.
