As shown in Video V8.9 and Fig. P8.27, the velocity profile for laminar flow in a pipe is quite different from that for turbulent flow. With laminar flow the velocity profile is parabolic; with turbulent flow at Re = 10,000 the velocity profile can be approximated by the power-law profile shown in Fig. P8.27. (a) For laminar flow, determine at what radial location you would place a Pitot tube if it is to measure the average velocity in the pipe. (b) Repeat part (a) for turbulent flow with Re =10,000.
