An incompressible, Newtonian fluid is flowing through a vertical circular conduit (a pipe). The flow is laminar.

What is the velocity at the inner wall of the pipe? How do you know?

The pipe has diameter a. The velocity profile in the pipe is v_z = b – c r². Please express c in terms of a and b. (You are applying a boundary condition to solve this problem.)

Where in the pipe is the velocity a maximum?

Please express the maximum velocity in terms of a and b.

What is the average velocity in the pipe in terms of a and b?

Express the volumetric flow rate in terms of a and b.

An incompressible fluid is flowing through a vertical pipe with a constriction. The wide section is 2.00 cm in diameter and is at the top of the pipe. The pressure of the fluid in the wide section at the top is 200 kPa. The velocity of the fluid in the wide section is 4.00 m/s. The narrow section is located 4.00 m below the wide section. What is the diameter of the narrow section for the pressure of the fluid...

In the steady flow of a Newtonian fluid through a long uniform circular tube, if NRe...

In the steady flow of a Newtonian fluid through a long uniform circular tube, if NRe <2100 the flow is laminar and the fluid elements move in smooth, straight, parallel lines. Under these conditions, it is known that the relation between the flow rate and the pressure drop in the pipe does not depend upon the fluid density or the pipe wall material. Perform a dimensional analysis of this system to determine the dimensionless groups that apply. Express your result...

Fluid X is flowing in a circular pipe with a constant velocity ν (m/s). The fluid is cooled by a jacket kept at constant temperature, Tj. Fluid velocity is plug shaped , in other words uniform at radial positions. Assume that temperature is uniform in radial positions because of turbulent flow conditions; ρ and Cp of the fluid are constants. The inlet temperature (at z=0) is constant and uniform at To (To>Tj). Assume that thermal conduction of heat along the...

An incompressible liquid flows through a straight horizontal pipe. Friction of the fluid within the pipe...

An incompressible liquid flows through a straight horizontal pipe. Friction of the fluid within the pipe causes a small amount of heat to be transferred from the fluid; to compensate, flow work must be done on the fluid to move it through the system (so W(dot)fl is greater than zero. a) How are V(dot)in and V(dot)out related, where V(dot) is the volumetric flow rate of the liquid? (Remember, fluid is incompressible) b) How must the pressures of Pin and Pout...

Consider steady, incompressible, laminar flow of a Newtonian fluid in the narrow gap between two infinite parallel plates (Figure \(3(a))\). The top plate is moving at speed \(V\), and the bottom plate is stationary. The distance between these two plates is \(h .\) The gravity acts in the \(z\) direction so the flow can be considered essentially two dimensional in \(x-y\) plane. Assume there acts an applied pressure gradient in the \(x\) -direction with its gradient given by, \(\partial P...
