No, Poiseuille equation can't be applied directly for turbulent flow since Hagen Poiseuille’s equation can only be applied to fluids that are incompressible, Newtonian and laminar in flow. The equation does not hold close to the pipe entrance or developing flow region where flow is turbulent.
The equation fails in the limit of low viscosity, wide and/or short pipe. Low viscosity or a wide pipe may result in turbulent flow, making it necessary to use more complex models, such as Darcy-Weisbach equation.

5) The following about turbulent flow in a pipe is true, EXCEPT a) The pipe cross-sectional average velocity is half of the centerline velocity (i.e. V=0.5V.) b) The flow Reynolds number is beyond 4100 c) The flow consists of a viscous sublayer, a buffle layer (viscous and turbulent effect both important) and a fully turbulent region up to pipe centerline d) Reynolds-averaged (time mean) velocity is used to describe flow velocity
