Question: Question # 4 A circular pipe made from new cast iron is used to convey water at a volume flow rate of Q = 0

Question #4
A circular pipe made from new cast iron is used to convey water at a volume flow rate of
Q=0.3m3s. Assume that the flow is steady and fully developed and the water is
incompressible. The head loss, friction, and diameter are related by the Darcy-Weisbach
equation,
hL=f(LV2D2g)
where f is the friction factor (dimensionless),L is the length (m),D is the pipe inner diameter
(m),V is the velocity (ms), and g is the gravitational acceleration (=9.81ms2). The
velocity can be related to the flow by,
Q=AcV
Where Ac is the pipe's cross-sectional area (=4D2m2) and the friction factor can be
determined by the Colebrook equation,
1f2=-2log10(3.7D+2.51Ref2)
Where Re is the Rynold's number, Re=VDv
If you want the head loss to be less than 0.006 m per meter of the pipe, develop a
MATLAB function to determine the smallest diameter pipe to achieve this objective.
Hint: you can use the fzero function.
Use the following parameter values: kinematic viscosity, v=1.1610-6m2s and
roughness, =0.4mm Plzz write a proper smooth matlab code thankyou.
