Where does the maximum velocity arise in a laminar flow in a Pipe? A. At r=R (the pipe wall) B. At r=0 (the pipe centreline) C. At r=R/4 D. At r= R/2 (halfway between the pipe centreline and wall)
Question
Where does the maximum velocity arise in a laminar flow in a Pipe? A. At r=R (the pipe wall) B. At r=0 (the pipe centreline) C. At r=R/4 D. At r= R/2 (halfway between the pipe centreline and wall)
Solution
The maximum velocity in a laminar flow in a pipe arises at r=0, which is the pipe centreline. So, the correct answer is B. At r=0 (the pipe centreline).

4. The speed of blood flow in an artery is given by Poiseuille’s law. The law says that blood flow is fastest in thecenter of the artery and slower at the edges. We can express this asS(r) =C(R2−r2).In this equationRis the fixed radius of the artery andSis the blood flow speed at a distancerfrom the centerof the artery. In a typical human aortaR= 1.4 centimeters and the peak blood flow velocity is 90 centimetersper second.(a) Calculate the constantC.1
