Water (ν = 0.86x10^-6 m^2/s) flows through a tube with a diameter of 12 mm at a velocity of 2 m/s. Determine if the flow is laminar or turbulent!

Water flows through a pipe 25 mm in diameter at a velocity of 6 m/s. Determine whether the flow will be laminar or turbulent assuming that the dynamic viscosity of water is 1.30 x 10^-3 kg/m.s and its density is 1000 kg/m^3. 2. If oil of specific gravity 0.9 and dynamic viscosity 9.6 x 10^-2 kg/m.s is pumped through the same pipe, what type of flow will occur?

A 40-mm diameter circular pipe carries water at 20°C. Calculate the largest flow rate for which laminar flow can be expected. Solution: The kinematic viscosity of water at 20°C is 1.00 x 10^-6 m^2/s from the table. Taking NR = 2,000 as the conservative upper limit for laminar flow, the velocity can be determined from the following equation: NR = vD / η Therefore, v = ηNR / D To find Q, the flow rate, use: Q = vA Ans. V = .05 m/s Q = 6.28 x 10^-5 m^3/s
