5. In the parallel system shown below, a pump is used to driving the flow. For both pipe, friction factor is \( f_{A}=f_{B}=0.02 \) and diameter \( D=D_{A}=D_{B}=10 \mathrm{~cm} \). Pipe A has a length of \( L_{A}=1 \mathrm{~m} \) and pipe \( B \) has a length of \( L_{B}=0.64 \mathrm{~m} \). The pump characteristic is given as \( H_{\text {pump }}=36-40 \mathrm{Q}^{2} \). Determine the total volume flow rate, \( Q \), at point 2 without considering minor losses. Figure Q5 a) \( 0.585 \mathrm{~m}^{3} / \mathrm{s} \) b) \( 0.260 \mathrm{~m}^{3} / \mathrm{s} \) c) \( 0.325 \mathrm{~m}^{3} / \mathrm{s} \) d) \( 0.650 \mathrm{~m}^{3} / \mathrm{s} \) e) \( 0.150 \mathrm{~m}^{3} / \mathrm{s} \)
