Q#1 GATE CH 2020 MCQ +2 marks -0.66 marks

A student performs a flow experiment with Bingham plastic under fully developed laminar flow conditions in a tube of radius 0.01 m with a pressure drop (ΔP ) of 10 kPa over tube length (L) of 1.0 m .The elocity profile is flat for r < rc and parabolic for r ≥ rc , as shown in the figure.

             

Consider r and x as the radial and axial directions, and the shear stress is finite as r approaches zero. A force balance results in the following equation

                   

Where τrx is the shear stress. If rc is 0.001 m , then the magnitude of yield stress for this Bingham Plastic (in Pa) is
