Question: Consider a pump - force main system presented in the figure below in which the pipeline diameter starts at 3 f t and then decreases

Consider a pump-force main system presented in the figure below in which the pipeline diameter starts at 3ft and then decreases to 2ft after the pump station.
Assume that the pump head is variable with Q and equal to hp=100-0.80Q2. Kinematic viscosity of water is 1.00**10-5ft2s, and all pipe wall roughness are equal to 0.05in. Based on this:
Calculate the flow rate anticipated in this system. Neglect all local losses except the one at the dowistream reservoir (Kexit=1.0).(20 pts.)
Calculate the EGL and HGL for this system. Use engineering paper and draw these lines to scale. Quality of the graphical representation will count toward this grade (10 pts.)
Then use the calculated HGL and obtain the pressure head estimate for points A and B in the pipeline. (10 pts)
