Question: Air flows steadily through a heated pipe as shown below. At the entrance of the pipe the radius is R 1 = 0 . 0

Air flows steadily through a heated pipe as shown below. At the entrance of the pipe the radius is R1=0.01m and the density of the air is 1=1.225kgm3. The air enters the pipe with a velocity V1=3mshat(e)z that is uniform over the cross-sectional area. Some ways down the heated pipe, the radius has reduced to R2=0.0075m and the density of the air has decreased to 2=1.0kgm3. Moreover, the velocity profile at this location is given by the equation
vec(V)2=Vc(1-r2R22)hat(e)z
Where Vg is the velocity at the centerline. For this case determine Vg.
