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?
1. Due to government water privatization, a bustling metropolitan city is now home to substantial and continuous water supply. While before the supply was only 200 liters/sec on old pipes, it is now 350 liters/sec running on a new steel pipe network shown on the figure below. . Given: f = 0.015 (for all pipes except the outlet pipe) f = 0.014 (for outlet pipe) Compute the flow of water in the upper branch. Compute the flow of water in the lower branch. Compute the energy loss per unit mass between the inlet and the outlet.

Next time you are putting gasoline in your car, determine the volumetric flow rate of the gasoline at the pumping station. Record the time that it takes to pump a known volume of gasoline into your car’s gas tank. The flow meter at the pump will give you the volume in gallons, so all you have to do is to measure the time. Investigate the size of the storage tanks in your neighborhood gas station. Estimate how often the storage tank needs to be refilled. State your assumptions.
