Mean Velocity given Shear Velocity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Mean Velocity = 3.75*Shear Velocity-Centreline Velocity
V = 3.75*V'-Umax
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Mean Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Mean velocity is defined as the average velocity of a fluid at a point and over an arbitrary time T.
Shear Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Shear velocity, also called friction velocity, is a form by which a shear stress may be re-written in units of velocity.
Centreline Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Centreline velocity is defined as the maximum velocity in the pipe, so it is, most of the time, larger than the average velocity.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Shear Velocity: 6 Meter per Second --> 6 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Centreline Velocity: 2.88 Meter per Second --> 2.88 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
V = 3.75*V'-Umax --> 3.75*6-2.88
Evaluating ... ...
V = 19.62
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
19.62 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
19.62 Meter per Second <-- Mean Velocity
(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
