In the system of reservoirs shown below, the flow of Reservoir 1 to Reservoir 2 is Q=15 cfs. At point 1 (just before the valve) and point 2 (just before the pipe bend), the total energy head (E) is given as shown. Additionally, the elevation of Reservoir 2 is given as 230 ft. Minor head losses can be accounted for with the following assumptions: angle=120° Radius of curvature of pipe bend at Point 2 is 12ft. (smooth 90 degree bend) Valve is a fully open gate valve Find the following: The height of Reservoir #1 (HR1)
