NOTE: There is some missing information (or drawings) in the problem statement. The following solution will assume the fluid is water, a constant pipe diameter of 2 in, pipe length of 100 ft, and entrance and exit loss factor are 0.5 and 1.0 respectively.

I have explained the procedure, so the effect of changing the pipe length can be tracked and reworked again. Thanks
