You are designing an air delivery system to supply air from a receiver operated at 100 psig (690 kPa) through 1600 ft (488 m) of pipe and a manifold to three hand-held rock drills. Each drill requires 100 cfm (2.18 m³/min) of compressed air and is connected to the manifold by 75 ft (22.8 m) of 1-in (2.5 cm) hose. Manifold pressure loss is rated at 2 psig (14 kPa). Determine the minimum size of pipe required to maintain a pressure of at least 90 psig (621 kPa) at the drills when all drills are operating simultaneously. Assume a 5% line leakage.

7. You are designing an air delivery system to supply air from a receiver operated at 100
psig (690 kPa) through 1600 ft (488 m) of pipe and a manifold to three hand-held
rock drills. Each drill requires 100 cfm (2.18 m³/min) of compressed air and is
connected to the manifold by 75 ft (22.8 m) of 1-in (2.5 cm) hose. Manifold pressure
loss is rated at 2 psig (14 kPa). Determine the minimum size of pipe required to
maintain a pressure of at least 90 psig (621 kPa) at the drills when all drills are
operating simultaneously. Assume a 5% line leakage.
