Question 4 An incompressible fluid flows down a vertical cylindrical pipe of length L and radius R, according to the laminar flow regime. a) Derive an expression for the velocity profile of the fluid using an appropriate Navier-Stokes equation. State all assumptions. b) If the pipe is 6 m in length, 5 cm in diameter, has a friction factor of 0.01 and the density of the fluid is 1020 kg/m³, calculate the pressure drop if a constant flow rate of 3 m³/hr is maintained.
