Water at 60°F flows from a lake through 500 ft of 4- in ID cast iron pipe at a water turbine 250 ft below the surface of the lake. After flowing through the turbine, the water is discharged into the atmosphere through a horizontal 50 ft section of the same pipe.

Question

Draw the diagram. Choose the correct answer and show complete solution. 

Water at 60°F flows from a lake through 500 ft of 4-
in ID cast iron pipe at a water turbine 250 ft below
the surface of the lake. After flowing through the
turbine, the water is discharged into the atmosphere
through a horizontal 50 ft section of the same pipe.
The turbine power output is 10 hp when the water in
the discharge pipe is flowing at 5 ft/s. If the turbine
were by passed, what would be the mass flowrate of
water through the 500 ft of 4in pipe.
45 lb/s
37 lb/s
52 lb/s
29 lb/s
