Question

At a water-treatment plant, water (68ºF ) flows from tank A to tank B at a rate of 0.50 cfs through a 3-in, cast-iron pipe that is 200 feet long. Determine the difference in water surface elevation between tanks (open to the atmosphere) if there are two bends(R/D=2.0) and a fully
open gate valve in the pipeline
