A water supply system has 500 meters of a smooth pipe with a diameter of 0.2 m and a flow rate of 0.1 m³/s. Calculate the Reynolds number, and categorize the flow.
💡 Hint: Gather necessary properties of water to solve it.
If the pressure at point A in a pipe is 200 kPa and at point B downstream is 150 kPa, calculate the energy loss due to friction assuming no other losses.
💡 Hint: Apply fluid's hydrostatics to derive losses.
