The equation below represents a steady-state laminar flow of a fluid through a horizontal tube:
η(1/r) d/dr(r dvz/dr) − dP/dz = 0
P is fluid pressure, η is dynamic viscosity, (r, z): coordinates of cylindrical polar system, and vz is axial velocity in z-direction.
Which one of the following statements related to the above case is NOT correct?
A
The fluid is Newtonian
B
Shear stress is maximum at the center (r = 0)
C
Radial velocity is zero
D
There is no variation of vz in z-direction

Correct : b
