Based on the layout of the water supply system, how much pressure in psi will be available at the faucet of the 2nd floor of the residential building as show in Figure 1 below? The pressure at the source is 75 psi.  Do you think that the pressure is enough for the building? Consider flow through the delivery pipe, Q = 3.75 cfs and diameter of the pipe, D = 4.25 inch. Ignore the minor pressure losses and use the following formulae to calculate the major pressure losses. If the pressure on the 2nd floor is not with the standard limit of 50 – 60 psi, a pump needs to be added in the place 65 ft from the source, as shown. Estimate the pump power in horsepower to provide a pressure of 58 psi in the house
