The answer is Maximum at the pipe surface because the pipe surface will the zone of 'no slip area' where the nearest layer of the liquid is expiring the highest shear force and it moves very slowly as compared to the mean layer of water so that the maximum shear force will more near to pipe surface.

In a pipe flow friction developed, Which cause velocity not constant throughout the section, so that shear stress never constant through the section. Shear stress proportional to the distance from center of the pipe. As radius 0 shear stress 0, and are maximum, shear stress will be maximum.

The correct answer is 'maximum at the inside of the surface'.

In a viscous fluid flowing through a circular pipe, the shear stress is zero at the centre of the pipe and increases linearly with radial distance, reaching its maximum value at the pipe wall (the inside surface of the pipe).

In circular pipe Shear stress is minimum at center and maximum at face inside the pipe because it varies with are i.e radius keeping dp/dx is constant but in case of velocity i.e velocity is maximum at center and minimum at face inside the pipe.

Hence answer should be B.

1. Velocity distribution is parabolic. That is maximum at the centre.

2. The shear stress distribution is zero at the centre and gradually increased though it the inner surface.

Here, "B" is the correct answer.

I think the given answer is correct because it is being asked regarding Shear stress distribution in VISCOUS FLUID.

So, for VISCOUS FLUID shear stress distribution will be the same throughout the section.

As it is a viscous liquid it offers some resistance. So, shear stress will be min. At centre and max. At surface of the pipe. So, the answer should be B. If it is non-viscous fluid then answer is correct.

In the case of inviscous flow i.e. ideal flow shear stress distribution is of rectangular shape so answer c is correct.

In case of real flow steady and laminar then option B will be correct.

Shear stress across a section varies with r. Hence dp/dx across a section is constant. Hence shear across a section is linear. Hence shear stress is maxed at inside surface of the pipe.
