Question

Problem 2. Consider laminar flow of a fluid through a square channel with smooth surfaces. (a) If the average velocity of the fluid is doubled, determine the change in the head

loss of the fluid. Assume the flow regime remains unchanged. (b) Consider the same square channel but assume flow is turbulent and the friction factor is given as f=0.184Re-02, Determine the change in head loss if the fluid velocity is doubled.
