Ethanol at 20°C flows at 0.008 m/s through a horizontal cast iron (ɛ = 0.26
mm) pipe with L = 12 m and d = 5 cm. Neglecting entrance effects, estimate (a) the
pressure gradient dp/dx, (b) the wall shear stress Tw, and (c) the percentage
reduction in friction factor if the pipe walls are polished to a smooth surface.
