Define Poiseuille's Law.
Recall the main variables involved.
What happens to flow rate with increased diameter?
Think about how flow rate and diameter are related mathematically.
What does Poiseuille's Law primarily describe?
Think about the main focus of this law.
True or False: The larger the diameter of the pipe, the smaller the flow rate according to Poiseuille's Law.
Consider the relationship of diameter to flow rate.
Derive the general equation for pressure drop in a pipe if given the flow rate, viscosity, and diameter as constants. Verify under which conditions could it be simplified.
Consider the role of laminar flow assumptions in your derivation.
Analyze a system of two inclined pipes of different diameters carrying the same fluid. Predict the flow differences using Poiseuille's Law.
Use dimensional analysis alongside Poiseuille’s Law during your analysis.
