q1) Fluid ( ρ = 850 kg/m3; μ = 0.08 Pa.s) flows through a 4-cm diameter tube at 0.5 m/s. The Reynolds number of the fluid is
q2 ) An oil with ρ= 900 kg/m3 and ν= 2x10-4 m2/s flows upward through an inclined pipe of diameter 4 cm as shown in Fig. 1. The pressures at sections 1 and 2 (L =11.3 m apart) are p1 = 359 kPa and p2 = 201 kPa, respectively. Assuming steady laminar flow, compute the average velocity; in m/s.
