Fully Developed Laminar Flow in a Pipe

We will now consider a fully developed laminar flow in a pipe and derive an expression for the velocity profile and then deduce some results important from a practical point of view. This derivation can be carried out in a number of ways - (1) by a Control Volume Analysis, (2) from Navier-Stokes Equation and (3) by a Dimensional Analysis. We follow the first approach.
