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

Not getting the solution, Please explain clearly.

Please, Explain the process.

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

If you solve this question for the laminar case the maximum velocity will be 2*uavg, 2*uavg, this means chaotic system dissipate more energy due to viscous effect. And can be related to the natural phenomenon as big eddies that form in the fluid consumes energy in form of angular velocity or vorticity and get converted to smaller eddies and eventually die out dissipating energy to the environment.

Max. Velocity = 2 Avg. Velocity --> For Pipe.
Max. Velocity = 1.5 Avg. Velocity --> For Plate.

Boss maximum velocity is 0.97 and avg velocity is 0.81 then how become its ratio 2?

Vavg = 1/8myu.dp/dx.R^2.
Vmax= 1/4myu.dp/dx.R^2.

Vinaykumar Vk said:   8 years ago
In laminar flow, the maximum velocity is 2 times the average velocity.
