Question: A polymeric fluid ( rho = 1 0 0 0 [ ( kg ) / / m ^ ( 3 ) ] , mu =

A polymeric fluid (rho=1000[(kg)//m^(3)],mu=100[cP]) is flowing through a vertically oriented cylindrical pipe with diameter D=0.1[m].(a) Derive the analytical formula for the average potential energy delivered through the pipe per unit length of pipe and calculate the numerical value in units of [J//kg](b) Now the fluid flow is in steady state and gives the loss coefficient K_(L)=6.4 per unit length of pipe. What is the mean fluid velocity and the frictional loss per unit length? Derive the analytical formula and calculate the numerical values (velocity =[m//s], frictional loss =[J//kg])
