i mean i will consider it as straight pipe and multiply with pressure loss in feet/100feet or i will consider elevation mean 1 feet of water column exerts pressure of 0.334 psi so i will multply vertial length with this factor to get pressure drop.remember it is chilled water pump.

You need to allow for pressure drop due to friction and the pressure head caused by gravity. Also the pressure caused by gravity for water is .433 psi per foot not .334 psi

When your calculating head loss, you have to take into account the effects of both friction loss of the flowing water in the pipe and the change in elevation. The both occur and must be accounted for to have the correct calculations.

My gawd how are you able to no longer understand the thank you to do this? you're an engineer and you will't calculate delta P by using water column and pipe flow loss? What college did you graduate from?
