The Value of Kinetic Energy Correction Factor

For laminar flow, the value of kinetic energy correction factor is 2.

Solution

Kinetic energy correction factor: The proportion of kinetic energy based on actual velocity to kinetic energy based on average velocity is called kinetic energy correction factor.

α=1/A∫(u/v)³dA

Where, A = area, v = average velocity, u = local velocity at distance r.

For laminar flow in circular pipes, the value of kinetic energy correction factor is, α =2
