5 Questions
Who were the scientists who experimentally derived the Hagen–Poiseuille equation?
Jean Léonard Marie Poiseuille and Gotthilf Heinrich Ludwig Hagen were the scientists who experimentally derived the Hagen–Poiseuille equation.
Explain the assumptions of the Hagen–Poiseuille equation.
The assumptions of the Hagen–Poiseuille equation are: 1. The fluid is incompressible and Newtonian, 2. The flow is laminar through a pipe of constant circular cross-section that is substantially longer than its diameter, and 3. There is no acceleration of fluid in the pipe.
Who provided the theoretical justification of the Poiseuille law?
George Stokes provided the theoretical justification of the Poiseuille law.
In what type of flow can the Hagen–Poiseuille equation be successfully applied?
The Hagen–Poiseuille equation can be successfully applied to laminar flow.
What kind of fluid does the Hagen–Poiseuille equation apply to?
The Hagen–Poiseuille equation applies to incompressible and Newtonian fluids.
