Crude oil having density of 856 kg/m3 and dynamic viscosity of 72 x 10 -4 pa-s flows in a 75-mm-diameter pipe 1250 m long at the rate of 0.12 m/s. What is the nearest value to the Reynolds Number?

Calculate the Reynolds number for a fluid of density $900 \mathrm{~kg} \cdot \mathrm{m}^{-3}$ and dynamic viscosity $0.038 \mathrm{~Pa} \cdot \mathrm{s}$ flowing in a $50 \mathrm{~mm}$ diameter pipe at the rate of $2.5 \mathrm{~L} \cdot \mathrm{s}^{-1}$. Estimate the mean velocity above which laminar flow would be unlikely.
For oil $\left(S G=0.86, \mu=0.025 \mathrm{Ns} / \mathrm{m}^{2}\right)$ flow of $0.3 \mathrm{m}^{3} / \mathrm{s}$ through a round pipe with diameter of $500 \mathrm{mm}$, determine the Reynolds number. Is the flow laminar or turbulent?
