Calculate the flow to each tank in gallons per minute


A pump delivers 850gpm at 60 F to two point in a plants cooling ater system.The entry to tanks A,which is atmospheric pressure 14.7psia ,is 50ft above the reference point,which is cmmon to both the pipe to tank A and B .The piping to tanK A is standard 8" schedule 40 carbon steel pipe.There are eight 90 degree long radius elbow and one fully open gate valve in the line to tank A. The total length of pipe to tank A from the reference point is 100ft . The entry to tank B is 15 ft above common reference point downstream of pump discharge . The piping to tank B is standard 4" schedule 40 steel pipe,includes flow through the branch of 8" tee ,and then an 8" by 4" concentric reducer (55degree con angle) with one globe valve fully open ,and six 90 degree ,long radius elbows. The total pipe length from the reference point to tank B is 500ft . Tank B is also at atmospheric pressure. Calculate the flow to each tank in gallons per minute . Show all work
