A deli meats factory pumps a liquefied meat mixture through round plastic pipe that is 75mm inside diameter. Assume that the liquid meat mixture has a specific gravity of 0.9, a dynamic viscosity of 0.1N∙s/m^2, and that it flows at an average speed of 0.5m/s.
a) What is the kinematic viscosity of the liquefied meat mixture in m2/s?
b) What is Reynolds number for liquefied meat mixture?
c) Is the flow laminar or turbulent?
d) What is the mass flow rate in kg/s?
