A water pipe has a diameter of 0.1 m and viscosity of 0.001 Pa.s. If it carries 0.02 m³/s, calculate the Reynolds number.
💡 Hint: Substitute density, velocity, diameter, and viscosity into the formula.
Determine the pressure difference for oil with viscosity 0.9 Poise and specific gravity 0.8 flowing through a 15 m long pipe with a diameter of 0.08 m, offering a discharge of 0.003 m³/s.
💡 Hint: Convert viscosity from poise to Pa.s if needed and calculate step by step.
