Question

A homeowner is interested in supplying water (at 20 °C) to her one-story house that is 5 m above the elevation
of the water main. However, she is concerned about lack of water pressure. She hired you as an engineer to
determine if there will be sufficient pressure to supply the house at flow rate of 10 L/min through a 1.5 cm
copper pipe. The pressure at the water main is 70 psi and according to the plumbing code, flush valves require
25 psi, regular water fixtures require 15 psi, and showers require 15 psi.
