The value of friction factor(f) for both rough and smooth pipe is given by:

By using the Nikuradse experiment, the pipe can be classified as:

Given thickness of the laminar sub-layer is 15 × 10^–6 meters

equivalent roughness of pipe = 0.15mm

Determine the distance from the pipewall at which local velocity is equal to the average velocity for turbulent flow in pipe

Which of the following are correctly matched:

1. Turbulent flow = Moment Integral equation

2. Laminar flow = Hagen Poiseuille equation

Water is flowing through a rough pipe of diameter 600 mm at the rate of 600/s The wall roughness is 3 mm. Find the power loast for 1km length of pipe.

A 50 cm diameter pipe carries water (v = 0.294 × 10^–6 m²/s) at an average velocity of 10 m/s . The roughness of pipe surface is 0.8 mm. For fully rough turbulent flow, What is the boundary shear stress.
