An analysis is presented of fully developed laminar flow in an eccentric annulus. An exact solution for the velocity distribution is presented. From this solution may be obtained expressions for local shear stress on the inner and outer surfaces of the annulus, friction factors based on the inner and outer surfaces, and the overall friction factor. Curves of these data are presented covering a range of eccentricity values and radius ratio values.
