Q1.

For fully developed laminar flow of an incompressible Newtonian fluid through a horizontal circular pipe of radius $R$, how does the maximum centerline fluid velocity $u_{\max}$ relate to the average cross-sectional velocity $V_{\text{avg}}$?

(A)

$u_{\max} = 2.0 \, V_{\text{avg}}$

(B)

$u_{\max} = 1.5 \, V_{\text{avg}}$

(C)

$u_{\max} = 1.25 \, V_{\text{avg}}$

(D)

$u_{\max} = V_{\text{avg}}$
