Two pipes are being considered for a pipeline. Pipe A has diameter of 0.8 m with a roughness of 1.20 mm; pipe B has diameter of 0.9m and a roughness of 1.35 mm, it is better to select pipe B because:
None of the answers
The relative roughness is the same so it doesn’t matter
c. The frictional loss in B is larger than A
The frictional loss in A is larger than B
Let the roughness of pipes follow a linear equation.
For pipe A, D= 0.8m and for D= 0.8m the roughness is 1.20 mm
Hence by unitary method, the value of roughness for pipe A for Diameter= 1m is:
Now,
For pipe B, D= 0.9m and for D= 0.9m the roughness is 1.35 mm
Hence by unitary method, the value of roughness for pipe A for Diameter = 1m is:
Hence both the pipes has same relative roughness per meter of Diameter. Hence, any of them can be used.

scouS in a pipe are expre in terms of a Jriction Jactor, J. It is important to frictional forces in pipe flow because they result in pressure loss which must be accounted for in the piping system. For turbulent flow in pipes, the friction factor is calculated using the Colebrook equation: e/D 2.51 VT where e is the roughness height, D is the pipe diameter and Re is the pipe Reynolds number (dimensionless). For e/D = 0.008 and Re =...
