Mechanical Engineering : Hydraulics and Fluid Mechanics - Quiz(MCQ)
Which among the following is an assumption of Hagen-Poiseuille equation?
A)
Fluid is laminar
B)
Fluid is uniform
C)
Fluid is turbulent
D)
Fluid is compressible

Correct Answer : Option (A) :   Fluid is laminar


Explanation : Fluid flow is laminar as it is assumed to be incompressible and Newtonian. The flow is laminar through the pipe of constant cross section. Thus, there is no acceleration of fluid in the pipe. Therefore, Hagen-Poiseuille assumed that fluid flow is laminar.
