cast-iron pipe was installed 50 years ago with a measured friction factor, f, of 0.02 and surface roughness height, e, of 0.2mm. The horizontal pipe is 1500m long and has a diameter of 35cm. Since installation, significant tuberculation has developed on the inside walls of the pipe. A recent pipe test was conducted. The pressure drop across the entire length of pipe was measured to be 200kPa. The design discharge through the pipe has not changed over the years (Q=0.1m 3 /s, T=20°C). Determine the current effective friction factor, f, and surface roughness, e, after years of tuberculation buildup

Which of the following statements about HGL and EGL is correct? O For any pipe will a constant wall thickness, the slopes of EGL and HGL will be constant. O If the EGL falls below the pipe, then pressure head is negative, indicating a potential location of cavitation. O When a flow passage decreases in diameter, the distance between the EGL and HGL will increase. O When a pipe discharges into the atmosphere, both HGL and EGL will coincide with the system because pressure head is zero at these points.
