The pump system in the figure is drawing water from the lake and pumping it into the tank, which is 20 ft above from the lake water surface. The pump efficiency is 90%, the Darcy friction factor is 0.02, the diameter of the pipe is 4 inches, pipe length is 100 ft, and flow rate is 0.536 ft3/s. Determine the minimum energy head in the unit of ft to deliver the lake water to the tank. Round to the nearest one decimal place.
