Q1:

The kinetic energy correction factor for a full developed laminar flow through a circular pipe is

A 1.00

B 1.33

C 2.00

D 1.50

ANS:C - 2.00

Laminar flow is uniform and kinetic energy correction of circular pipe = 2.

Turbulent flow is non-uniform flow and kinetic energy correction of circular pipe = 1.03 to 1.28.
