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

The water system in an urban area consists of an old 200 mm pipeline 750 m long which conveys water from a pump to a reservoir whose water surface elevation is 105 m higher than the pump. Water is pumped at a rate of 70li/sec. Determine the horsepower saved by replacing the old pipe with a new 25 cm pipe. Assuming f=0.033 and 0.022 for the old and new pipe respectively. Neglect other losses except frictional loss.
