Consider the laminar flow of an incompressible fluid in an inclined circular pipe driven by the gravitational force and no external pressure gradient. The diameter of the pipe is 0.2 m and it is tilted 2 with respect to the ground surface. The fluid has a density of 1 kg/m and a dynamic viscosity of 0.001 kg/m.s. It can be assumed that the flow is isothermal, laminar and fully developed. The gravitational acceleration is g = 10 m/s. Develop the relation for the velocity profile and determine the volume flow rate (m/s) for this fluid.
