5.5.4. A 1.75-ft-diameter pipeline conveys water from reservoir A to B. The pipeline is 13,800 ft long and has a Darcy-Weisbach friction factor of 0.016. The water surface in reservoir A is 14.7 ft higher than that of B. Accounting for minor losses (square-edged entrance and exit, swing-type check valve, and two rotary valves), determine the flow rate, pump head, and flow velocity. The pump characteristics are tabulated below. Q (cfs) H,, (ft) 0 300 5 289 10 256 15 201 20 124 25 25
