Problem. The water system in a suburban area consist of an old 20 cm pipeline 750 m long which conveys water from a pump to a reservoir whose water
surface is 105 m higher than the pump. Water is pumped at the rate of 70 liters/sec. Neglecting minor losses.
a. Determine the head added by the pump using the 20 cm pipeline. Assume f = 0.033.
b. If the old pipe is replaced with a new 25 cm ∅ pipe, compute the energy supplied by the pump.

Solution:
B
L=750 m
Q= 70L/s= 70x10-3m3/s
Friction factor, f= 0.033
ZB=105m
