Your company has been assigned to evaluate two pumps; Pump Megatron and Pump Omicron to be used at various locations in this country to pump water from one large reservoir to another large reservoir that is at a higher elevation as shown in Figure 1. The free surfaces of both reservoirs are exposed to atmospheric pressure. The piping system specifications at the various locations are provided in Table 1.
