0 0 votes The head loss for a laminar incompressible flow through a horizontal circular pipe is $h_1$. Pipe length and fluid remaining the same, if the average flow velocity doubles and the pipe diameter reduces to half its previous value, the head loss is $h_2$. The ratio $h_2$/$h_1$ is $1$ $4$ $8$ $16$ Fluid Mechanics gateme-2015-set2 flow-through-pipes fluid-mechanics fluid-mechanics-and-thermal-science + – ♦Arjun 227 views answer comment Share Follow Add Sync Questions 0 reply Please log in or register to add a comment.
