- Flow is driven along a long, straight, circular pipe by a pressure drop. On investigating a portion of this pipe, far from the inlet and outlet sections and with a steady state flow, we observe a pressure drop of Δp=10 Pa across a length of the pipe L=8.6 m. The radius of the pipe is R=0.2 m. The fluid properties are as follows: the dynamic viscosity is μ=0.05 m2 s-1 and density is ρ=1000 kg m-3. Find the Reynolds number based on the diameter of the pipe, evaluated at the middle of the pipe section. Give your answer to two decimal places. please stop copy from internet, there are a lot of wrong solutions.

Velocity variations are also monitored at the same positions via pitot tubes. A uniform velocity profile is observed at the upstream position, and at the downstream, flow is measured to be fully developed. Consider that the fully developed velocity profile is evaluated 2. as a(r) = 2u- (1 -) where um is the mean velocity of the fluid, R is the radius of the pipe, and r is the radial position from the centerline of the pipe. The pipe diameter is 2.5 cm, and the mean velocity at the upstream is 0.9 m/s.

- Please help me in answering the following practice question. Thank you for your help. A Newtonian fluid is flowing in an infinitely long round pipe of diameter M or radius N = M/2 and inclined at angle α with the horizontal line. Consider the flow is steady (dρ/dt=0), in-compressible, and laminar. There is no applied pressure gradient (dP/dz= 0) applied along the pipe length (z-direction). The fluid flows down the pipe due to gravity alone (gravity acts vertically downward). Adopt the coordinate system with z axis along the centre line of the pipe along the pipe length.Derive an expression for the z-component of velocity u as a function of radius N and the other parameters of the problem. The density and viscosity of the fluid are ρ and u, respectively.Please list all necessary assumptions.arrow_forwardThe ethanol solution is pumped into a vessel 25 m above the reference point through a 25 mm diameter steel pipe at a rate of 8 m3/hour.
