14. The flow of water in a 10-inch Schedule 40 pipe is to be metered. The temperature of the water is 100°F, and the static pressure upstream of the meter is 20 psig. The density of the water is 62 lbm/ft³. Assume the flow meter is a square-edged orifice with a diameter ratio of 0.5. When the flow rate is 1,200 gpm and the flow coefficient is 0.5, calculate the pressure drop across the orifice in lb/in². The pipe ID is 10.002 inches.
