Maximum velocity of flow through a circular tube

Input(s)

pop_{o}: Pressure at Initial Point (Pa)(\mathrm{Pa})

pLp_{L}: Pressure at Point L(Pa)\mathrm{L}(\mathrm{Pa})

R: Radius (m)(\mathrm{m})

μ\mu: Viscosity (kg/(ms))(\mathrm{kg} /(\mathrm{ms}))

L: Length (m)

Output(s)

vzmaxv_{z m a x}: Maximum Velocity (m/s)(\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s})

Formula(s)

vzmax=(popL)R24μ L\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{zmax}}=\frac{\left(\mathrm{p}_{\mathrm{o}}-\mathrm{p}_{\mathrm{L}}\right) * \mathrm{R}^{2}}{4 * \mu * \mathrm{~L}}
