Question:

A garden hose is used as the return line in a waterfall display at the mall. In order to select the proper pump, you need to know the hose wall roughness, which is not supplied by the manufacturer. You devise a simple experiment: attach the hose to the drain of an above-ground pool whose surface is 3 m above the hose outlet. You estimate the minor loss coefficient in the entrance region as 0.5, and the drain valve has a minorloss equivalent length of 200 diameters when fully open. Using a bucket and stopwatch, you open the valve and measure a flow rate of 2.0E−4 m3/s for a hose of inside diameter 1.5 cm and length 10 m. Estimate the roughness height of the hose inside surface.
