The water system in an urban area consists of an old 200 mm pipeline 750 m long which conveys water from a pump to a reservoir whose water surface elevation is 105 m higher than the pump. Water is pumped at a rate of 70li/sec. Determine the horsepower saved by replacing the old pipe with a new 25 cm pipe. Assuming f=0.033 and 0.022 for the old and new pipe respectively. Neglect other losses except frictional loss.
