Question

Water flows through a pipe 25 mm in diameter at a
velocity of 6 m s
−1
. Determine whether the flow will be laminar
or turbulent assuming that the dynamic viscosity of water is 1.30
× 10 −3 kgm−1
s
−1 and its density 1000kgm−3

. If oil of specific

gravity 0.9 and dynamic viscosity 9.6 ×10−2 kg m−1
s
−1
is pumped

through the same pipe, what type of flow will occur?
