Problem 3 Water needs to flow from one large tank with water surface elevation of 120 m to another large tank with water surface elevation of 100 m. The pipe length is 300 m. Determine the minimum required diameter of pipe (ε = 0.41 mm, CH= 120) for the following cases: (a) Darcy Weisbach equation, flowrate must be at least 5000 Lpm; (b) Hazen Williams equation, flowrate must be at least 1 m3/s. Assume available pipe diameters start at 100 mm, are available in increments of 25 mm to 250 mm, then available in increments of 50 mm for larger sizes (i.e., 100, 125, 150, 175, ..., 225, 250, 300, 350, etc)
