The middle 200m of a 600m long HDPE pipe (e=0.00015) with a diameter of 0.75m was damaged in a recent earthquake. Due to supply shortages, the middle 200m of pipe was replaced with a HDPE pipe 0.5m in diameter. If the entire pipe is required to carry 2m 3 /s of water (20°C), determine the total head loss across the entire 600m long pipeline. Ignore minor losses.
