It is desired to increase the flow rate by 100% in a pipeline with a fully rough turbulent flow. Which of the following changes should be made to the pipe length
and/or diameter to keep the pressure drop in the pipeline constant? Assume that there is no fasteners in the pipeline that would cause minor losses and that the
flow is fully rough turbulent after the changes made. Assume that fluid is incompressible.
The pipe length should be reduced by 50% while the pipe diameter should remain constant
The pipe length should be kept constant and the diameter should be increased by 100% at the same time.
The pipe length should be increased by 20% and the pipe diameter should be reduced by 15% at the same time.
The pipe length should be reduced by 50% and the pipe diameter should be increased by 15% at the same time.
The pipe length should be reduced by 20% and the pipe diameter should be increased by 45% at the same time.
 It is desired to increase the flow rate by 100% in
