Question: Applied Hydraulics # 3 . 5 . 1 4 . A cast - iron pipeline was installed 2 0 years ago with a friction factor

Applied Hydraulics #3.5.14.
A cast-iron pipeline was installed 20 years ago with a friction factor (measured) of 0.0195 and a roughness height (e) of 0.26mm. The horizontal pipeline is 2,000m long and has a diameter of 30cm. Significant tuberculation has occurred since it was installed, and field tests are run to determine the existing friction factor. A pressure drop of 366,000 Pascals is measured over the pipeline length for a flowrate (at 20C) of 0.136m3s. Determine the existing friction factor (effective) and the existing roughness height. Note: The friction factor is called "effective" since the loss of flow area due to tuberculation contributes to the reduced flow rate. Assume that minor losses are negligible.
