It is known that the velocity distribution for steady, laminar flow in circular tubes (either horizontal or vertical) is parabolic. (See Video V6.13.) Consider a 10-mm-diameter horizontal tube through which ethyl alcohol is flowing with a steady mean velocity 0.15 m/s. (a) Would you expect the velocity distribution to be parabolic in this case? Explain. (b) What is the pressure drop per unit length along the tube?
