Streamline Flow: Overview

In this topic, we will study the fluids in motion. A derived expression of the equation of continuity also explained here along with an illustration that helps us to understand the meaning of streamline and trajectory of fluid particles.

Glycerine flows steadily through a horizontal tube of length 1.5 m and radius 1.0 cm. If the amount of glycerine collected per second at one end is 4.0 × 10-3  kg s-1 , what is the pressure difference between the two ends of the tube? (Density of glycerine = 1.3 × 103 kg m-3 and viscosity of glycerine = 0.83 Pa s). [You may also like to check if the assumption of laminar flow in the tube is correct].
