An industrial plant needs 1336313 gallon of water per day which must be pumped from a lake to a height of 258 ft. through 1279 ft. of 12 in. pipe with friction factor f =0.027. Considering losses in the pump due to valves and appurtenances equal to 5 times the velocity head and the entrance loss equal to 0.6 the velocity head, find the horsepower required to deliver water needed.
