*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.
