Question 1

What is the equation for average velocity in smooth pipes?

  • u - V_average = 5.75 log_10(y/R) + 3.75
  • V_average = 5.75u + 3.75y
  • u = V_average * R

💡 Hint: Recall the derivation we did in class!

Question 2

True or False: The average velocity in rough pipes differs from smooth pipes.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about the generalization of the equations.
