Due to corrosion and scaling, the roughness height of a pipe k increases with its years in service t, varying approximately as

where k0 is the roughness of the new pipe. For a cast iron pipe, k0 ≈ 0.26 mm, and ε ≈ 0.00001 m per year. Estimate the discharge (volume flow rate) of water through a 20 cm diameter cast iron pipe 500 m long as a function of time over a 20-year period. Assume the pressure drop is constant and equal to 150 kP a. 1
