Problem 3.
A liquid with a specific gravity of 0.68 is pumped from a storage tank to a free jet discharge
through a pipe of length L and diameter D. The pump provides a known amount of fluid power
to the liquid. Assuming a constant friction factor of 0.015, determine the discharge for the
following conditions:
Z1 = 24m, P1 = 110Kpa, Z2 = 18m, L = 450m, d = 300mm, = 10Kw

Initially, assumed the flow to be fully turbulent to use the eqn.
