A pipeline is to convey H2O between 2 reservoirs 5 miles apart and 200 ft difference in elevation. Neglecting minor losses, determine the head loss and the pipe diameter.
H2O @ 68F

Q=20 ft3/s
ρ=1.937 slug/ft3, μ=2.09 x 10-5 lb.s/ft 2

L=5 miles=26400 ft, Δz=200 ft

Pipe is commercial steel     ε=0.00015 ft
