A 6 inch diameter water main in your town has become very rough due to rust...

A 6 inch diameter water main in your town has become very rough due to rust and corrosion. It has been suggested that the flowrate through this pipe can be increased by inserting a smooth plastic liner into the pipe. Although the new diameter will be smaller, the pipe will be smoother. Will such a procedure produce a greater flowrate? List all assumptions and all calculations.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Please have the answer complete, CLEAR and computer generated!!
