Question

The kinetic energy correction factor for laminar flow in a circular pipe is:

• A. 1.23
• B. 1.54
• C. 2
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is C 2

Kinetic energy correction factor for different cases are as follows:

1. For laminar flow in circular pipe =2
2. For laminar flow between parallel plates =1.543
3. For turbulent flow in circular pipe = 1.03-1.06
