For laminar flow through a closed conduit____________________?

Correct answer: A. Vmax = 2Vav

  • A. Vmax = 2Vav
  • B. Vmax = Vav
  • C. Vmax = 1.5Vav
  • D. Vmax = 0.5Vav

Explanation

For fully developed laminar flow in a circular pipe, the parabolic profile gives Vmax = 2Vav. The maximum velocity occurs at the centreline and is twice the cross-sectional mean.
