Question: A concrete pipe ( Mannings n = 0 . 0 1 3 ) sewer line has a slope of 0 . 0 0 6 .

A concrete pipe (Mannings n =0.013) sewer line has a slope of 0.006. The line carries
110 cubic feet per second. If the minimum flow velocity to prevent solids from settling from the
sewage is 2 ft/s, what commercially available size pipe should be used to carry the flow and
maintain greater than 2 ft/s flow velocity? Assume sewage has the same properties as water.
Concrete pipe is available in 8,10, and 12 diameters and then in 3 increments to 36
diameter, then in 6 increments to 144 diameter.
