Laminar Flow Equations

This document contains equations for modeling laminar and turbulent flow through pipes using different rheological models: 1) Hagen-Poiseuille and Darcy-Weisbach equations for laminar flow in circular pipes and the Bingham plastic model. 2) Equations for laminar flow in annular ducts and the Power-law model for non-Newtonian fluids. 3) Additional equations presented for pressure drop and critical velocity calculations using various rheological parameters in both imperial and SI units.
