Interpretation: The change in pressure drop for the same flow rate and change in flow rate for the same pressure drop is to be determined.
Concept introduction: The change in pressure across a pipe due to smoothness or roughness is known as the pressure drop. The pressure drop for any type of flow is given as,
The notations used here are,
f = Fanning Friction factor
L = Length of the pipe
D = Diameter of the pipe
The Reynolds number is given as,
The notations used here are,
D = Diameter of pipe
The flow rate of the fluid is given as,
A = Area of the pipe
The roughness parameter is given as,
