A pipeline (diameter 0.3 m, length 3 km) carries water
from point P to point R (see figure). The piezometric
heads at P and R are to be maintained at 100 m and
80 m, respectively. To increase the discharge, a second
pipe is added in parallel to the existing pipe from Q to
R. The length of the additional pipe is also 2 km. Assume
the friction factor, f= 0.04 for all pipes and ignore minor
losses.
