For a FH/HR system, the topmost fire hydrant is 60m above the
intermediate booster pump (IBP), and the pipe length between IBP
and this fire hydrant is 80 m. The Fire Service Inlet in this FH/HR
system is 3 m above the IBP. Ignoring the friction induced pressure
loss, determine the required booster pressure at IBP.
