Water at a temperature of 50 °F flows through a pipe of diameter D = 0.73 in. and into a glass as shown below. Making some assumptions and using online resources to find fluid properties, Determine: a) the minimum time taken to fill a 12-oz glass (volume = 0.0125 ft3) with water if the flow in the pipe is to be laminar. Repeat the calculations if the water temperature is 140 °F. b) the maximum time taken to fill the glass if the flow is to be turbulent. Repeat the calculations if the water temperature is 140 °F.
