Let the speed of the flow be   and the diameter of the tap be d=1.25  cm . The volume of the water flowing out per second is 
Q=v×πd2/4
v=4Q/d2π
We then estimate the Reynolds number to be 
Re=4ρQ/πdη
=4×103kg  m3×Q/(3.14×1.25×102m×103Pas)
=1.019×108m3sQ
Since initially (a) 
Q=0.48L/min=8  cm3/s=8×106m3s1, e obtain,
Re=815
