ii. Show that the velocity profile and the maximum velocity are also given by the following expressions. [10 marks] Page 3 of 4 $V(y) = \frac{nh}{n+1} \left( \frac{\tau_w}{\eta} \right)^{\frac{1}{n}} \left\{ 1 - \left( \frac{y}{h} \right)^{\frac{n+1}{n}} \right\} V_{max} = \frac{nh}{n+1} \left( \frac{\tau_w}{\eta} \right)^{\frac{1}{n}} where \(\tau_w\) is shear stress at the wall.

The basic equation is given by: u = (1/2μ) * (dp/dx) * (R^2 - r^2) where u is the velocity at a distance r from the centerline, μ is the dynamic viscosity of the fluid, dp/dx is the pressure gradient along the pipe, R is the radius of the pipe, and r is the Show more…
