Question: 'A Loop 1 ( L 1 ) from a series - parallel piping system is shown in Figure 4 . The pump ( P )

'A Loop 1(L1) from a series-parallel piping system is shown in Figure 4. The pump (P) adds 100 ft of head to the fluid. The magnitudes of the flowrates are given as
Q11=1.4 cfs, Q12=1.0 cfs and Q13=1.8 cfs. The directions of the flows are shown in the figure. Assume the head loss in each pipe can be calculated from the following equation
hL =8.2Q^1.8 where Q is in units of cfs and hL is in units of ft.
In the question that follows, select the answer that is closest to the true value.
What is the sum of the head losses around the loop in units of ft?
-91.8
-66.8
-116.8
-41.8
