24.54 The pressure gradient for laminar flow through a constant radius tube is given by dx where p-pressure (N/m),x-distance along the tube's centerline (m), dynamic viscosity (Ns/m2), Q-flow (m3/s), and r = radius (m) (a) Determine the pressure drop for a 10-cm length tube for a vis- cous liquid = 0.005 Ns/m2, density = 1 103 kg/m3) adii with a flow of 10 10-6 m3/s and the following varying r along its length, x, cm 6 7 10 1.35 1.34 16 .58 .42 (b) Compare your result with the pressure drop that would have occurred if the tube had a constant radius equal to the average radius. (e) Determine the average Reynolds number for the tube to verify that flow is truly laminar (Re-pvD/
