A fluid has a density of 1000 kg/m^3 and flows through a diameter of 10 m at 3 m/s. Given that its kinematic viscosity is 0.001 m^2/s, what is the Reynolds number and the nature of the flow?
💡 Hint: Be careful with units when calculating.
Derive the equation for velocity profile in laminar flow through a pipe, stating assumptions and integrating the necessary terms.
💡 Hint: Focus on the fundamental equations for fluid flow.
