Water 60°F flows at 10 ft/s in a 3 in. diameter pipe that is 100 ft long. There are six elbows (KL = 1) and two gate valves (KL = 0.3). The end of the pipe is at elevation 20 ft above the inlet. The pressure at the inlet is 50 psia. The roughness height is 0.0002 ft. Determine the head at the inlet, head loss,pressure drop due to losses, and absolute pressure at the end.  *Show your correct and complete solution. Please include schematic diagram and assumptions.*
