The water system in a suburban area consists of an old 8-inch pipeline 2,500 ft. long which conveys water from a pump to a reservoir whose water surface is 350 ft. higher than the pump. Water is pumped at the rate of 2.5 cfs. Determine the horsepower saved by replacing the old pipe with a new 10-inch pipe. Assume the values of f as equal to 0.033 and 0.022, respectively, for the old and new pipes. Neglect losses of head except friction head. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.
