B Pressure Drop Required for a Given Flow Rate with Elevation Change Water at 680 F is to be pumped through 95 ft of standard 3-in. pipe (internal diameter 3.086 in.) into an overhead reservoir, shown in Fig. 6.B. a. What pressure is needed at the outlet of the pump to suply water to the overhead reservoir at a rate of 18 gal/min? b. What percentage of the pressure drop is needed for overcoming the pipe friction? Answer : Pipe Diameter (in to m)  Flow Rate (gal/min to kg/s)  Average Velocity  Reynolds Number 

If 2.1 x 10 < Re < 10 , then friction factor is
