Maximum velocity of flow through a circular tube

Input(s)

$p_{o}$: Pressure at Initial Point $(\mathrm{Pa})$

$p_{L}$: Pressure at Point $\mathrm{L}(\mathrm{Pa})$

R: Radius $(\mathrm{m})$

$\mu$: Viscosity $(\mathrm{kg} /(\mathrm{ms}))$

L: Length (m)

Output(s)

$v_{z m a x}$: Maximum Velocity $(\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s})$

Formula(s)

$$ \mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{zmax}}=\frac{\left(\mathrm{p}_{\mathrm{o}}-\mathrm{p}_{\mathrm{L}}\right) * \mathrm{R}^{2}}{4 * \mu * \mathrm{~L}} $$
