5. Water is pumped 14.5 km from a reservoir at elevation 30 m to another reservoir at elevation 70 m. The steel pipeline connecting the reservoirs has a nominal diameter of 1400 mm (the actual inside diameter is 1372 mm) with C = 90. If the flow is 1.18 m3/s, the pumping efficiency is 82%, and electricity costs $0.14/kWh. Assuming that the density of water is 1000 kg/m3, what will be the monthly power bill? Sketch the hydraulic and energy grade lines.
