Consider steady viscous flow through a small horizontal tube. For this type of flow, the pressure gradient along the tube, Δp ⁄ ΔL should be a function of the viscosity Y, the mean velocity V, and the diameter D. By dimensional analysis, derive a func- tional relationship relating these variables.

The unit is defined by 1 poise = 0.1 (N s)/m2. Show that 1 poise is also equivalent to 1 g/(cm · s). %3Darrow_forward
