Questions

Error Factor

Factor CFD=0.942
Factor AFD=0.097747231
Error= 3.83
Can you use centerline pressure distribution to determine the “developing
length”? Why?
7
it is not possible because the line is linear and the pressure decreases as it
passes through the pipe.

What is the value for radial velocity at developed region?

7.72e-5 m/s
Summarize your findings in CFD Lab report and try to relate them to your
classroom lectures or textbooks.
It is observed that as the fluid flows through the pipe, the axial velocity will
decrease as it moves through the pipe due to the friction factor.
