*Water flows at a rate of 2.0 ft³/s in an old, rusty 6-in-diameter pipe that has a relative roughness of 0.010. It is proposed that by inserting a smooth plastic liner with an inside diameter of 5 in into the old pipe as shown in Figure 1 the pressure drop per mile can be reduced. Is it true that the lined pipe can carry the required 2.0 ft³/s at a lower pressure drop than the old pipe? Support your answer with appropriate calculations.

A hydraulic pipeline 3 km long and 50 cm in diameter is used to convey water with a velocity of 1.5 m/s. The pressure rise if the valve provided at the outflow end is closed in 20 seconds is kPa. Consider pipe to be rigid and take bulk modulus of pipe material as, k = 20 x 108 N/m². (round off to nearest integer)
A test is set-up as shown in the figure below. A cylindrical mold 4" in diameter is filled with silt to a height H1 = 0.20 ft whose coefficient of permeability is 6.10 x 10^-4 ft/min.A second coaxial mold, placed on top of the silt inside the first mold, has an inside diameter of 1.50" and height of H2=0.30 ft. Its thickness is negligible. The inside of this second mold is filled with the same silt, but the annular ring outside is filled with sand whose coefficient of permeability is 2.50 x 10^-3 ft/min.The test set-up is a permeameter of constant head. Water is placed in the mold and maintained at a level h=1.25 ft above the level of the outlet. It may be considered that the system consists of a fictitious soil of thickness H = H1 + H2 and coefficient of permeability kf. What is the equivalent coefficient of permeability of the system in ft/min?
