Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulic Machinery

  1. Water enters a circular pipe of length L = 5.0 m and diameter D = 0.20 m with Reynolds number ReD = 500. The velocity profile at the inlet of the pipe is uniform while it is parabolic at the exit. The Reynolds number at the exit of the pipe is_____
    1. 577
    2. 500
    3. 520
    4. 5.00
Correct Option: B

Since discharge is not changing average velocity in constant dia pipe will not change

Re =
ρVD
μ

Reynold’s no. will not change
Re at exit = 500
