Shear-stress distribution in cylindrical tube
• Consider the flow of fluid in a cylin.tube
P is upstream pressure
P+dP is the downstream pressure
If we consider, flow is fully developed
βa = βb, and
Substituation in momentum balance equation, it gives
• The shear forces due to viscosity between two layers is equals to product of shear
stress and cylindrical surface area. Fg=0; pipe is parallel to ground.

Relation between skin friction and wall shear
• Here, the skin friction signifies the friction between wall and fluid layer.
4
• By substituation, we get the relationship between f and pressure drop
• The above all equations are applicable to laminar and turbulent flow with steady
state and full developed characteristics.

Average velocity, kinetic energy correction factor and momentum correction factor for
laminar flow of Newtonian Fluids :
1) Average velocity:
Home work : Kinetic energy correction factor is
equals to 2 for laminar flow, 1 for fully developed
turbulent flow and momentum correction factor
is equal to 4/3 for laminar flow.
S = pi*rw 2
