Example
Velocity measurements are made in a 30-cm pipe. The velocity at the centre is found to be 1.5m/s, and the velocity distribution is observed to be parabolic. If the pressure drop is found to be 1.9 kPa per 100m of pipe, what is the kinematic viscosity of the fluid? Assume that the fluid’s specific gravity is 0.90.
VCL = Vmax = 1.5 m/s
Velocity distribution is parabolic
flow is fully developed and laminar
since flow is laminar
