Calculate the Reynolds number for a fluid flowing at 2 m/s in a 0.5 m diameter pipe with a dynamic viscosity of 1.002 mPa.s. Discuss if the flow is laminar or turbulent.
💡 Hint: Use the formula Re = (density * velocity * diameter) / viscosity.
Describe a scenario where maintaining laminar flow is crucial in an engineering application. What strategies could be employed?
💡 Hint: Consider applications involving complex fluids in small systems.
