Textbook Question
Chapter 8, Problem 113P
Investigate the effect of tube roughness on flow rate by computing the flow generated by a pressure difference Δp = 100 kPa applied to a length L= 100 m of tubing, with diameter D = 25 mm. Plot the flow rate against tube relative roughness e/D for e/D ranging from 0 to 0.05 (this could be replicated experimentally by progressively roughening the tube surface). Is it possible that this tubing could be roughened so much that the flow could be slowed to a laminar How rate?

flow rate of water in the center of a
pipe with an internal diameter of
102.3 mm at 20°C (density =
