| VISCOUS FLOW | ||||
Example 2 |

| Air flows through a cast iron tube of 5mm diameter at an average velocity of 60m/s. Check, whether the flow is laminar or turbulent and then determine the pressure drop in a 0.1m section of the tube. If the flow is made laminar by incorporating a very smooth tube, then determine the gain in the pressure drop. The density and viscosity of air may be taken as |
