1. Size a control valve for service on a pipeline carrying a hydrocarbon liquid (specific gravity equal to 0.80) with a maximum flow rate of 400 gpm and a minimum flow rate of 100 gpm. The pressure drop across the pipeline is proportional to the flow rate squared, and the total pressure drop for the line and valve is constant at 35 psi. Assume f(e) = 0.10 for the minimum flow rate condition.
