2. Section I Section III
Flow of Viscous Fluid
Circular pipe
Two Parallele Pipe
Lose of Head due
Friction
Coefficient of viscosity
- Capillary tube method,
- orifice type
- falling sphere resistance method
- Rotating cylinder method
 Network of pipes (Hardy-cross method)
Section II

6. 1. Has regular predictable behavior.
2. The viscous force plays an important role.
3. Shear stress is given by newton’s law of viscosity.
4. Velocity distribution is parabolic in nature.
5. Loss of head is proportion to the velocity of flow.
6. Laminar flow can be steady or unsteady.

7. 1. Flow of blood through veins
2. Flow of liquid through porous media
3. Rise of sap in trees
4. Flow of oil in lubrication mechanism
5. Flow of fluid in capillary tube.
