Assume that laminar flow of 60°F water has been maintained in a 1-in. schedule 160 (actual I.D. of 0.815-in.), horizontal, 100-ft-long commercial steel pipe at a Reynolds number of 23,000. (Yes, laminar flow is possible at a Reynolds number that is this high under very controlled conditions.) Compare the pressure drop for this flow and that of turbulent flow for the same Reynolds number.
