List of top Fluid Mechanics Questions on Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids asked in GATE XE

In a laminar, incompressible, fully-developed pipe flow of a Newtonian fluid, as shown in the figure, the velocity profile over a cross-section is given by \( u = U \left( 1 - \frac{r^2}{R^2} \right) \), where \( U \) is a constant. The pipe length is \( L \) and the fluid viscosity is \( \mu \). The power \( P \) required to sustain the flow is expressed as \( P = c \mu L U^2 \), where \( c \) is a dimensionless constant. The value of the constant \( c \) (up to one decimal place) is \(\underline{\hspace{1cm}}\). \includegraphics[width=0.5\linewidth]{imager13.png}

  • Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids
Consider the fully-developed flow of a Newtonian fluid (density \( \rho \); viscosity \( \mu \)) through a smooth pipe of diameter \( D \) and length \( L \). The average velocity of the flow is \( V \). If the length of the pipe is doubled, keeping \( V \), \( D \), \( \rho \), \( \mu \) constant, the friction factor
