Question

If the velocity is zero over half of the cross-sectional area and is uniform over the remaining half, then the momentum correction factor is

Answer 1

Momentum correction factor depends on the distribution of velocity. It is denoted by beta. In the question asked the momentum distribution factor is 2.

This can be calculated easily and since this is a simple question, no numerical formula is needed for solving and finding the value of momentum correction factor.

Answer 2

If the velocity is zero over half of the cross-sectional area and is uniform over the remaining half, then the momentum correction factor is 2.
