3(a) Consider the steady laminar flow of a viscous fluid through a long circular cylindrical tube. The govering equation is \( -\frac{1}{r}\frac{d}{dr}\left ( r\mu \frac{dw}{dr} \right )=\frac{P_0-P_L}{L}f_0 \)/ where w is the axial (i.e.;z) component of velocity , μ is the viscosity, and f0 is the gradient of pressure ( which includes the combined effect of static pressure in gravitational force). The boundary conditions are \( \left ( r\frac{dw}{dr} \right )\bigg|_{t=0}=0,\ \ w(R_0)=0 \)/ Using the symmetry and two linear elements, determine th e velocity field and compare wtih the exact solutions at the nodes: \[W(r)=\frac{f_0R_0^2}{4\mu }\left [ 1-\left ( \frac{r}{R_0} \right )^2 \right ]\]
