A horizontal pipe, originally smooth but due to constant use, was found to be scaling through corrosion where the effective surface roughness rises. This resulted for the fanning friction factor to be twice the original value. Determine the percent increase in the pipe diameter if the volumetric flowrate and pressure difference remains the same when it was new and old. Blank 1 %
