Question

The rate of flow (V) of a liquid (coefficient of viscosity is η) flowing through a pipe of radius r , length L and pressure gradient p is given by Poiseuille's equation V=π8rxηzLpy. Then calculate the value of x.

Moderate
Solution

Since we know that V=π8r4ηLp, so we get x = 4, y = 1 and z = 1.
