An industrial plant needs 1, 383,739 gallon of water per day which must be pumped from a lake to a height of 273 ft. through 1, 779 ft. of 11 in. pipe with friction factor f=0.048. Consadering losses in the pump due to valves and appurtenances equal to 5 times the velocity head and the entrance loss equal to 0.7 the velocity head, find the horsepower required to deliver water needed.
