A cast iron pipe is required to carry 10 cfs of water at 60°F over a distance of 1200 ft between 2 reservoirs with a water surface elevation difference of 15 ft. The equivalent sand grain roughness of the pipe is 0.00085 ft. a. What is the minimum pipe diameter to carry the flow under the action of gravity? b. Assuming you can get standard cast iron pipes in diameter increments of ½ ft, and you use the next larger pipe diameter, what is the actual flow?
