5 Questions
What causes the almost uniform velocity in turbulent flow compared to laminar flow in a pipe?
Dominance of inertia forces over viscous forces
In the velocity profile for laminar and turbulent flows, where is the maximum velocity (umax) located?
At the center of the pipe
What is the average velocity (Vavg) in relation to the maximum velocity (umax) for the entire stream flowing through the pipe?
Precisely one half of the maximum velocity
What causes pressure losses in a pipe when fluid flows through it?
Frictional and viscous effects
What is the relationship between pressure drop () and the change in pressure of the fluid as it flows through the length L?
Is negative therefore V is positive
