Stress increases linearly with distance from the centre,

i.e min at centre and max at the boundary of the pipe.

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.

Actually, shear stress is max at inside the surface of pipe and min at the centre but distribution of shear stress is linear. So answer is (C).

Answer B is right because shear stress varies linearly from the centre of the pipe to the boundary.

It Means zero shear stress at centre & Maximum at the boundary.

Shear stress is minimum at the centre.

I think the correct answer is B.

Udk soni said:   8 years ago
It is min at centre and max at the boundary.

Shear stress distribution is linear in a pipe with max at its inner face and zero at the centre.

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.

Answer will be (D) none of these.

As shear stress distribution is minimum at centre and maximum at pipe wall. Don't get confused.
