Question:

A liquid with a viscosity of $25 \mathrm{cP}$ and an $\mathrm{SG}$ of 0.87 is pumped from an open tank to another tank in which the pressure is $15 \mathrm{psig}$. The line is $2 \mathrm{in}$. sch 40 diameter, $200 \mathrm{ft}$ long, and contains eight flanged elbows, two gate valves, a control valve, and an orifice meter.

What should be the diameter of the orifice in the line for a flow rate of $100 \mathrm{gpm}$, if the pressure across the orifice is not to exceed 80 in. $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$ ?
