A smooth plastic pipe is to be designed to carry 10 (ft^3)/s of water at 77°F(25°C) through 1800 ft of horizontal pipe with an exit pressure at 25 psig. The pressure drop is to be approximately -300 psig. Determine the minimum pipe diameter (in inches) that will result in the given pressure drop. For water at 77°F: ρ = 1.934 slug/(ft^3), and μ = 1.86E-5 slug/(ft-s).
