Civil Engineering > GATE 2021 SET-1 > Fluid Mechanics
A fluid flowing steadily in a circular pipe of radius R has a velocity that is everywhere parallel to the axis (centerline) of the pipe. The velocity distribution along the radial direction is Vr = U(1 - (r2 / R2)), where r is the radial distance as measured from the pipe axis and U is the maximum velocity at r = 0. The average velocity of the fluid in the pipe is
A
U / 2
B
U / 3
C
U / 4
D
(5/6)U

Correct : a
