Circular pipes are easy to fabricate and require the minimum material for a given cross section. If the liquid is under pressure, a circular cross section for the pipe holds the pressure easier and allows the stress to be distributed more or less equally around the perimeter; other cross sections will concentrate the stresses in a few areas around the perimeter.

Why are pipes circular shaped?

Because that's the easiest way to make them, and the strongest. EDIT: Also the circular shape allows for a smoother flow of liquid within the pipe and less resistance.

What are the factors affecting flow of liquid in a pipe?

The factors affecting the flow of liquid in a pipe include the pipe diameter, the viscosity of the liquid, the pressure difference across the pipe, the length of the pipe, and the roughness of the pipe walls. These factors collectively determine the flow rate and efficiency of the liquid moving through the pipe.

What is liquid hold up?

Liquid hold up refers to the proportion of a two-phase flow that is occupied by liquid. It is usually represented as a fraction of the cross-sectional area in a pipe or vessel that is filled with liquid. Liquid hold up is an important parameter in the design and operation of multiphase flow systems, as it affects the performance and efficiency of the system.
