Water (ĆĀ½ = 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!
Added by Lorena P.
Step 1
The formula for the Reynolds number is: Re = (Ļ * v * D) / Ī½ where Ļ is the density of the fluid (for water, Ļ = 1000 kg/mĀ³), v is the velocity of the fluid (2 m/s), D is the diameter of the tube (12 mm = 0.012 m), and Ī½ is the kinematic viscosity of the fluid Show moreā¦

Water runs through a water main of cross-sectional area 0.5 mĀ² with a velocity of 6 m/s. Calculate the velocity of the water in the pipe when the pipe tapers down to a cross-sectional area of 0.3 mĀ². A Newtonian fluid with a dynamic or absolute viscosity of 0.38 Ns/mĀ² and a density of 910 kg/mĀ³ flows through a 25 mm diameter pipe with a velocity of 2.6 m/s. Find out the Reynolds number of the fluid. Is the fluid flow laminar, transient, or turbulent?

A viscous fluid flows in a 0.10 -m-diameter pipe such that its velocity measured $0.012 \mathrm{m}$ away from the pipe wall is $0.8 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$ If the flow is laminar, determine the centerline velocity and the flowrate.
