4. A 1km long pipe links two reservoirs whose difference in levels is maintained at 20m. Calculate: (a) the diameter of a “smooth” pipe that will convey a flow of 50L/s. (b) the diameter of a pipe with relative roughness 0.002 that will also convey 50L/s. (c) the flow rate that will be carried by a “smooth” 20cm diameter pipe. (17cm, 19cm, 76L/s)
