Homework Statement



Prove that pressure drop (ΔP) of a fluid, in laminar flow, through a cylindrical tube is given by
ΔP=(8QμL)/π(r)^4
where

Q = volumetric flow rate
μ = viscosity,
L = tube length, in
R = tube radius, in

Homework Equations


please do not use dimensional analysis to prove.


The Attempt at a Solution

 
Physics news on Phys.org
I have decent knowledge of taylor series.
Apart from "Mechanics of Continuous Media",i have good understanding of other undergraduate physics topics as well.
I do not have enough time to go through the whole of fluid dynamics.
i want to know only 3 things in Mechanics of Continuous Media
(a) proof of stokes's law,poiseuille equation,elastic constants and their inter-relation.
please help with these topics.

NOw i know the proof of stokes's law,poiseuille equation.
I never believed that the proof would be such a general one(u only need to know Newton's law).
All book except one(physical fluid mechanics by d.j tritton)were providing proof after digging into 100s of pages of fluid dynamics .
thanks D.J TRITTON
thanks you as well, even for not helping me.
 
Hello everyone, I’m considering a point charge q that oscillates harmonically about the origin along the z-axis, e.g. $$z_{q}(t)= A\sin(wt)$$ In a strongly simplified / quasi-instantaneous approximation I ignore retardation and take the electric field at the position ##r=(x,y,z)## simply to be the “Coulomb field at the charge’s instantaneous position”: $$E(r,t)=\frac{q}{4\pi\varepsilon_{0}}\frac{r-r_{q}(t)}{||r-r_{q}(t)||^{3}}$$ with $$r_{q}(t)=(0,0,z_{q}(t))$$ (I’m aware this isn’t...
Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...
