An infinitely long, solid, vertical cylinder of radius $R$ is located in an infinite mass of an incompressible fluid. Start with the Navier-Stokes equation in the $\theta$ direction and derive an expression for the velocity distribution for the steady flow case in which the cylinder is rotating about a fixed axis with a constant angular velocity $\omega .$ You need not consider body forces. Assume that the flow is axisymmetric and the fluid is at rest at infinity.

The velocity profile in fully developed laminar flow in a circular pipe of inner radius R = 2 cm, in m/s, is given by u(r) = 4(1 - r2/R2). Determine the average and maximum velocities in the pipe and the volume flow rate.

The velocity of a liquid flowing in a circular pipe of radius $R$ varies from zero at the wall to a maximum at the pipe center. The velocity distribution in the pipe can be represented as $V(r),$ where $r$ is the radial distance from the pipe center. Based on the definition of mass flow rate $\dot{m}$ obtain a relation for the average velocity in terms of $V(r)$ $R,$ and $r$.
