Question
**Figure P7–62**

The diagram illustrates a long section of pipe with laminar flow. The following components are depicted:

- **D**: Diameter of the pipe
- **\(\rho, \mu\)**: Represent fluid density and viscosity, respectively
- **\(L\)**: Length of the pipe
- **\(V\)**: Fluid velocity, indicated by an arrow within the pipe
- **\(r_1\)** and **\(r_2\)**: Radial positions related to the pipe

**Problem 7-63**:
Consider laminar flow through a long section of pipe, as in Figure P7–62. For laminar flow, wall roughness is not a relevant parameter unless it is very large. The volume flow rate \(\dot{V}\) through the pipe depends on the pipe diameter \(D\), fluid viscosity \(\mu\), and the axial pressure gradient \(\frac{dP}{dx}\). If the pipe diameter is doubled, with all else being equal, by what factor will the volume flow rate increase? Use dimensional analysis.
