1Two water pumps are arranged in series. The performance data for both pumps follow the parabolic curve fit Havailable =H0 =aV ^2. For pump 1, H0 =5.30 m and coefficient a =0.0438 m/Lpm^2; for pump 2, H0 =8.70 m and coefficient a =0.0347 m/Lpm^2. In either case, the units ofnet pump head H are m, and the units of capacity V are Lpm.Calculate the combined shutoff head.
