A.
Mean flow velocity is about 0.5 times the maximum velocity |
B.
Velocity profile becomes flatter and flatter with increasing Reynolds number |
C.
Point of maximum instability exists at a distance of 2r/3 from the pipe wall (r = pipe radius) |
D.
Skin friction drag, shear stresses, random orientation of fluid particles and slope of velocity profile at the wall are more |
A.
Shear stress over the cross-section is proportional to the distance from the surface of the pipe |
B.
Surface of velocity distribution is a paraboloid of revolution, whose volume equals half the volume of circumscribing cylinder |
C.
Velocity profile varies hyperbolically and the shear stress remains constant over the cross-section |
D.
Average flow occurs at a radial distance of 0.5 r from the centre of the pipe (r = pipe radius) |
