Question 1: Derive an expression for the shear stress at the pipe wall when an incompressible fluid flows through a pipe under pressure. Use dimensional analysis with the following significant parameters: pipe diameter D, flow velocity V, fluid viscosity u and density, p of the fluid.
Please Show work Assume that the wall shear stress, Tw, created when a fluid flows through a pipe (see Figure a) depends on the pipe diameter, D, the flowrate, Q, the fluid density, p, and the kinematic viscosity, U. Some model tests run in a laboratory using water in a 0.2-ft-diameter pipe yield the vs. Q data shown in Figure b.

A horizontal pipe is shown in the figure below. At the inlet (Point 1), the radius of the pipe is 4 cm and the velocity profile is given by: 16-y2 cm/s. At the outlet (Point 2), the radius is 2 cm and the velocity changes to a uniform profile, as shown in the figure.
