A pump takes water from a reservoir and delivers it to a water tower. The water in the tower is at atmospheric pressure and is 120 ft above the reservoir. The pipeline is composed of 1000 ft of straight 2 in. sch 40 pipe containing 32 gate valves, two globe valves, and 14 standard elbows. If the water is to be pumped at a rate of 100 gpm using a pump that is 70% efficient, what horsepower motor would be required to drive the pump?
