Vmax/Vavg = 2 for laminar circular pipe flow.
.

.
Vmax/Vavg = 3/2 for laminar fixed plate flow.

In laminar flow, for pipes max.velocity= 2*avg.velocity.
For parallel plates max.velocity=1.50*avg.velocity.

For a fully developed laminar viscous flow through a circular pipe, the maximum velocity is equal to twice the average velocity.
Vavrg = 2 × Vmax.
Vavrg/Vmax = 2.

The question is not clear where it is laminar or turbulant flow for oil in case of laminar it is 2 see Hagen–Poiseuille equation.

For some cases, it may 0.5. One thing must be clear that avg velocity is half of the max velocity and max velocity always exist at the centre of pipe.

Umax/U=[1+1.43F^.5].
Which is;
Turbulent = 1.2-1.25.
Laminare = 2.
b/w plates = 1.5.

Max.velocity= - 1 ÷ 4u (dp ÷ dx)*r^2
And avg. Velocity = -1 ÷8u (dp ÷ dx)*-r^2, so that the ratio will be = 2.

How the answer is 2?

Poobathy said:   9 years ago
How this answer?

v/umax = 0.5.

Supreeth said:   4 years ago
Uavg= (umax)/2 so ratio will be 2.
