Calculate flow rate for depth of water in the storage tank


Water flows from a storage tank through a horizontal, 6-inch pipe (cast iron) and discharges water (20 degrees Celsius) into the atmosphere at the end. The pipe is 500 feet long, contains two 1-ft-radius bends and a fully open gate valve, and the entrance is square edged. Calculate the flow rate if the depth of water in the storage tank is 60.2 feet above the inlet (and outlet) of the pipe.
