Viscosity
Question

Water is flowing through a tube of inner diameter 2mm. What should be the maximum average velocity of flow of water through the tube, for which the flow will remain laminar ?
Coefficient of viscosity of water at 25oC is 8.90 x 10-4 N-s/m2

Moderate
Solution

For laminar flow through pipe

ρvdη2000

Vmax=2000ηρd=2000x8.90x10-4103x2x10-3m/s=89cm/s
