Fully developed laminar flow in a round pipe has a parabolic profile ONLY if: Group of answer choices There is a liquid in the pipe The pipe is horizontal None of the listed statements are correct The pipe is vertical There is a gas in the pipe

Step 1
In this type of flow, the velocity profile is parabolic, meaning that the fluid moves fastest at the center of the pipe and slowest at the walls. Show more…

The pressure gradient (dp/dx) in a developed turbulent flow in a horizontal constant diameter pipeline is: A. constant B. varies linearly with axial distance C. zero D. decreases exponentially E. varies directly with the average velocity Explanation: The pressure gradient (dp/dx) in a developed turbulent flow in a horizontal constant diameter pipeline can be described by the given options. The correct option will depend on the specific characteristics of the flow and the pipeline.

In a laminar pipe flow that is fully developed, the axial velocity profile is parabolic. That is, \[ u=u_{c}\left[1-\left(\frac{r}{R}\right)^{2}\right] \] as is illustrated in Fig. $\mathrm{P} 5.72 .$ Compare the axial direction momentum flowrate calculated with the average velocity, $\bar{u},$ with the axial direction momentum flowrate calculated with the nonuniform velocity distribution taken into account.
