Question: Consider a pipe flow example for a pipe diameter ( D ) of 4 0 0 , 5 0 0 , 6 0 0 ,

Consider a pipe flow example for a pipe diameter (D) of 400,500,600,700,800,900,1000 and
1100mm. Equation 1 determines the area of the pipe:
A=D24(Equation1)
The flow in the pipe is given by:
Q=AV,(Equation2)
Where V is the fluid velocity given by Manning's Equation as:
V=1n(R23S12),(Equation3)
In the above expressions:
D= diameter of the pipe, m
R= hydraulic radius (=AP)
P= wetted perimeter of the pipe (=D)
n= Mannings's roughness coefficient (=0.015)
A= cross sectional area of the pipe
S= slope of the pipe =1.5%(or 0.015)
a. Use MATLAB to store variables D,n and S as arrays
b. Combine all values, including pipe diameter, area, wetted perimeter, hydraulic radius,
velocity and flow, into a single array (Data).
c. Create a line plot of diameter versus flow. Label the x-axis as "pipe diameter (m)" and the
y-axis as "flow (m3s)". Title your plot as "Pipe flow calculation using Manning's
equation". Add grid and legend ("flow") to your plot. Customize the color, symbol and line
type of the plot.
