Question:

A steel pipe 2 ft in diameter carries water at about 15 ft/s. If the pipe has a roughness of 0.0003 ft, could the capacity be increased by inserting a smooth plastic liner that reduces the inside diameter to 1.9 ft? Calculate the change in pressure drop for the same flow and the change in capacity for a fixed pressure drop.
