Term: Entrance Pressure Drop
Definition: The pressure drop that occurs when fluid first enters a pipe, which varies based on flow type.
Term: Fully Developed Flow
Definition: A flow condition where the velocity profile does not change along the flow direction, resulting in a constant pressure gradient.
Term: Poiseuille’s Law
Definition: Describes the volumetric flow rate through a cylindrical pipe in terms of pressure gradient, fluid viscosity, and pipe dimensions.
Term: Shear Stress
Definition: The stress component that acts parallel to the surface of the material; in pipe flow, it varies linearly with radial distance.
