A cast iron pipe must carry water at 20°C between 2 reservoirs with a discharge of 30 cfs a distance of 1000 ft. The elevation difference between the 2 reservoirs is 10 ft. The pipe is to be cast iron with an equivalent sand grain roughness of 0.5 mm. Ignoring all losses except those in the pipe, determine the pipe diameter required to carry this discharge by gravity alone (no pumps).
