- Problem Consider a cylindrical pipe of length L and diameter D = 2R. The angle that the axis of the pipe forms with the vertical direction is a. Assume that when the fluid enters the pipe its velocity is uniform (i.e., it has the same value over the entire cross-section of the pipe) and equal to U in the axial direction. In the radial and angular directions, the velocity is zero. So, it is: 2 =0: v(r, 0, 2) = Ue, (1.1) Here v is the fluid velocity and e, is a vector of unit magnitude parallel to the coordinate axis z; furthermore, we have assumed that the pipe inlet is located at z = 0. Near the entrance of the pipe, the velocity profile varies in the axial direction. But after a certain entrance length, the profile becomes fully developed, no longer changing with z. The evolution of the velocity profile is sketched in Fig. 1, where, for clarity, the pipe inclination is not shown. The entrance length is denoted by L.. For z > L., the fluid velocity is no longer a function of the axial…arrow_forwardA pipe tapers over 60m from 450mm in diameter to 675mm in diameter.
