1. For laminar flow in a round pipe of diameter D, at what distance from the centerline is the actual velocity equal to the average velocity?
2. Water at 20 °C flows through a horizontal 1-mm-diameter tube to which are attached two pressure taps a distance 1 m apart.
(a) What is the maximum pressure drop allowed if the flow is to be laminar?
(b) Assume the manufacturing tolerance on the tube diameter is D 1.0 ± 0.1 mm. Given this uncertainty in the tube diameter, what is the maximum pressure drop allowed if it must be assured that the flow is laminar?
