A certain process requires 3.0 cfs of water to be delivered at a pressure of 30 psi. This water comes from a large-diameter supp
ly main in which the pressure remains at 60 psi. If the galvanized iron pipe connecting the two locations is 200 ft long and contains six threaded 90o elbows, determine the pipe diameter. Elevation differences are negligible.

Answer:
diameter of the pipe = 0.4932ft.
Explanation:
assuming d = 0.4932
Re = 3.16 x 10∧5/0.4932
= 6.4 x 10 ∧5
E/d = 0.0005/0.4932
= 0.0010 from moody chat t = 0.02
if 0.02 is beign substituted in equation 2 we will get the same required diameter of the pipe which is 0.4932ft.
