Water is retained in a small mountain lake whose surface is 280 ft above the inlet to the turbines in a power house. Surveyors have laid out the best line location for the piping system to bring the water down to the power house, the route being 3100 ft. What is the minimum standard diameter of pipe which may be used so that the natural flow will be 1000 gpm and the pressure at the turbine nozzles will be 100 psig? Th normal water temperature is 40°F. O 6 in sch 40 O 8 in sch 80 O 10 in sch 80 O 12 in sch 40
