5.6.2. A 1.5-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 0.02. The water surface in reservoir B is 196 ft higher than that of A. Neglecting minor losses, determine the flow rate and energy head added to the flow by each pump if two identical pumps are used in series. The pump characteristics are tabulated below.
