Define laminar flow.
Think about how a smooth stream of water behaves.
What is viscous flow?
Consider what happens when you stir honey.
What characterizes laminar flow?
Visualize water flowing gently in a river.
True or False: The Reynolds number indicates the type of flow.
Remember its role in predicting flow behavior.
A fluid of viscosity 0.001 Pa.s flows between two infinite parallel plates with a gap of 0.01 m under a pressure drop of 1000 Pa/m. Calculate the velocity at the center and at the edge.
Use formulas discussed in class and plug in your values carefully.
If the Reynolds number for a fluid flow in a pipe increases above 2000, discuss the implications for the velocity profile and flow characteristics.
Think about how flow characteristics differ when fewer layers are organized.
