A cylindrical tube with a radius of 0.05 m carries water (density 1000 kg/m³, viscosity 0.001 Pa.s) at a velocity of 2 m/s. Calculate the Reynolds number and interpret the flow.
💡 Hint: Use the provided values to derive your result.
You have a fluid (viscosity = 0.002 Pa.s) flowing with a velocity of 4 m/s in a channel of height 1 m. Calculate the Froude number and assess flow dominance.
💡 Hint: Remember the formula for Froude number!
