An existing fixture inserts the velocity probe described in below Problem exactly 60.0 mm from the outside surface of the pipe. If the probe reads 2.48 m/s, compute the actual average velocity of flow, assuming the flow is laminar. Then, check to see if the flow actually is laminar if the fluid is a heavy fuel oil with a kinematic viscosity of 850 centistokes.

PROBLEM:

A small velocity probe is to be inserted through a pipe wall. If we measure from the outside of the 6-in Schedule 80 pipe, how far (in mm) should the probe be inserted to sense the average velocity if the flow in the pipe is laminar?
