- Find an expression for the velocity of water leaving the sprinkler. Find an expression for the gauge pressure at point A, a distance L1, upstream of the narrow pipes. Express the answer in terms of the flowrate, Q. The inner diameter of the first segment of the pipe is d1=10mm, the inner diameter of the second set of pipes is d2=1mm, with N=25. The flowrate through the sprinkler is Q=0.2 L/s. Flow in pipes typically becomes turbulent when the Reynolds number exceeds 2000. Comment on the accuracy of the assumption that the flow could be treated as laminar everywhere.

The spacing between the two plates is 0.4 mm. The upper plate moves steadily at a velocity of 10 m/s, in a direction parallel to both plates. The pressure is constant everywhere, the fluid is Newtonian, and assumed incompressible. Neglect gravitational effects.
