Water at 15°C is transported from a large open tank to the bottom of another open tank above. The surfaces of the two tanks are kept at 160 ft apart vertically. The pipes used have an ID of 3.5 inches, and a total length of the pipe used is 150 ft. In the system, there are two fully open gate valves, 6 90° elbows, and 2 standard tees. The pump used has a mechanical efficiency of 60%, and the volumetric flow rate of water is at 35 (ft^3)/s. Frictional losses due to sudden contraction and expansion are negligible. Determine the Reynolds number of the flow
