On numerical investigation of semi-empirical relation representing development length for a fluid flow in a closed conduit

The development of the velocity gradient at the opening of a closed conduit plays an essential role in monitoring the heat transfer behavior. Hence it is indispensable to examine the minimum critical length at which the velocity gradient is fully developed. Ultimately the flow is fully developed. Th...
