Water flows through a circular pipe with diameter d. The velocity profile of the water is given as:
u(r) = (-1²)
4μ 4
where the radius of the pipe, u is the viscosity, and a is a constant.
a) Show that this velocity profile satisfies the boundary conditions of a fully developed is laminar flow.
b) Which units must the constant a have for u (r) to express velocity in m/s?
c) Find an expression for the shear stress at the point derr = d / 4
d) Find an expression for the shear force acting on a piece of pipe of length L.
e) What is the difference between a turbulent and a laminar flow?
