The velocity profile of a fully developed laminar flow in a straight circular pipe, as shown in the figure, is given by the expression \(u\left( r \right) = \frac{{ - {R^2}}}{{4\mu }}\left( {\frac{{dp}}{{dx}}} \right)\left( {1 - \frac{{{r^2}}}{{{R^2}}}} \right)\) , where \(\frac{dp}{dx}\)  is a constant. The average velocity if fluid in the pipe is
