Given a pipe with a Reynolds number of 3000, calculate whether the flow is laminar, transitional, or turbulent. What adjustments could be made to convert it from turbulent to laminar?
💡 Hint: Consider the flow characteristics around transition points.
A water supply system shows a pressure drop of 20 kPa across a 50m pipe, with a flow rate of 0.1m³/s. Calculate the energy loss rate and discuss the implications for the system.
💡 Hint: Think about how energy is measured in terms of pressure and flow rates.
