(c) Discuss Rayleigh Method for the application of dimensional analysis to fluid 07
flow:
For the flow of fluid through long,straight and circular pipe,the pressure

pipe ,length of pipe,velocity of fluid,density of fluid and viscosity of
fluid.Obtain the relationship between pressure drop and the variables.ΔP = ψ
(D,µ,ρ,u,L).
