Water flows from a tank through 160 feet of 4 inches diameter pipe and then discharges into air as shown in the Figure. The flow of water in the pipe is 12cfs. Assume n=0.013 and neglect minor losses. Determine the following: (a) The velocity of flow in the pipe in fps. (b) The total head lost in the pipe in feet. (c) The pressure at the top of the tank in psi.
