Water is flowing through a long pipe of diameter (15 mathrm{~cm}) at (300 mathrm{~K}). The pressure gradient

Question:

Water is flowing through a long pipe of diameter \(15 \mathrm{~cm}\) at \(300 \mathrm{~K}\). The pressure gradient is \(500 \mathrm{~Pa} / \mathrm{m}\).

Using the Blasius equation for the friction factor find the volumetric flow rate and the average velocity. Then find the maximum velocity and the wall shear stress.

Plot the velocity profile given by the \(1 / 7\) th-power law and compare your result with the universal velocity profile.
