3.3. EFFECT OF PRESSURE ON MOMENTUM TRANSPORT 33The volumetric flow rate is determined by integrating the velocity profileover the radius of the tube.Q = π(P 0 − P L )R 48µL(3.130)This shell balance analysis is also valid only for steady flows, where thestreamlines are straight. This occurs in a fully developed flow, away fromthe entrance or exit of the pipe, and also in a the Reynolds number is lessthan 2100, where the Reynolds number is defined as Re = ρv max R/µ, wherev max is the maximum velocity and R is the radius of the pipe.Oscillatory flow in a pipeAn oscillatory pressure gradient (∆p/L) = k cos (ωt) is applied across a pipeof length L. Determine the velocity profile in the pipe.The differential equation for the velocity profile is, The momentum equationin the flow x direction is∂u x∂t − 1 Re( ∂ 2 u x∂x 2)+∂2 u x= − ∂p∂r 2 ∂x(3.131)Setting u r = 0 for a unidirectional flow, and neglecting variations in thestreamwise direction, the equation for the velocity profile is∂u x∂t − 1 ( 1 dRe r dr r du )x= − cos (t) (3.132)drwhere Re = (ρωR 2 /µ). Use the solution for an oscillatory flow,The equation for ũ x becomesıũ x − 1 Reu x = ũ x exp (ıt) (3.133)( 1rddr r dũ )x= 1 (3.134)drThe solution for ũ x is divided into a homogeneous and a particular solution.The homogeneous solution is given byũ xh = CJ 0 ( √ −ıRer) (3.135)
