The pressure drop, Δp, along a straight pipe of diameter D has been experimentally studied, and it is observed that for laminar flow of a given fluid and pipe, the pressure drop varies directly with the distance, l, between pressure taps. Assume that Δp is a function of D and l, the velocity, V, and the fluid viscosity, μ . Use dimensional analysis to deduce how the pressure drop varies with pipe diameter.
