    Fluid Mechanics Theoretical Pipe Diameter

    Thanks for your reply, much appreciated. I have divided by 2 to get the mean velocity. I've then plugged it into the Reynolds Number formula to get 1280. Which means it is laminar flow.

    Fluid Mechanics Theoretical Pipe Diameter

    Homework Statement I need to find the pipe diameter or mean velocity. Q= 0.01m^3s Density= 960kg m^3 Viscosity = 0.081 Pa s Max Velocity = 1.8 m s Homework Equations Mean velocity= 4Q/pi.D^2 The Attempt at a Solution I have two unknowns in this equation so I'm unable to find D or Mean...

    Fluid Dynamics–Find pipe diameter,head loss & actual mean velocity.

    Why is the mean velocity roughly half of the maximum velocity? Does this apply to laminar/turbulent/transitional flows? Thanks in advanced
