A desalination plant employs an electrical pump to raise water to a height of 37m to a treatment tank from a reservoir. The total pipe length is 437m, the pipe has a roughness factor of 0.21mm and the kinematic viscosity of water is 1.31x10-6 m2/s. The required volume flow rate is 1757m3/hr and the pipe diameter is 2.1m. You can take the value of Kfittings = 12. Calculate the friction coefficient.
Use Reynolds number as 4.37 x105.
The answer should be to 3 decimal places.
