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 taken as1.30 × 10−3 kg/ms and its mass density as 1000 kg/m3. If oil of specific gravity 0.9 and dynamic viscosity 9.6 × 10−2 kg/ms is pumped through the same pipe, what type of flow will occur?
Ichetucknee Springs is a Florida State Park that is about 30 miles northwest of Gainesville. One of the most popular activities in the park is floating down the Ichetucknee River in an inner tube. Given that the river is about 40 feet wide, 6 miles long, and the water is 72°F, calculate the average velocity of the water (in meters/second) if it takes a tuber 3 hours to float from the launch to the exit. Then, calculate the average volumetric flow rate in (m3/second) of the water, making sure to clearly state all assumptions.
