4.2.6. A PVC pipeline with a 40 cm diameter and 2,000-m long carries water at the rate of 0.388 m³/s (10°C) from reservoir A to reservoir B. The water surface elevation of reservoir A is 30 m higher than that of reservoir B. A pump is needed to boost the flow rate when needed. Determine the pres- sure head the pump must add to the pipeline to double the flow rate.
