A farmer builds a water storage tank 12m above the ground. The water is fed via a 250m long, 125mm pipe to a field for irregation purposes. The pipe has a friction factor of 0.007. Using the K data below, show that the water flow rate (kg/s) in the pipe is approximately 24.25kg/s.
K data
Tank exit 0.5
bend 0.9
valve in pipe 1.0
Assume water density as 1000kg/m3
