From the data in Appendix C, we can see that automotive hydraulic oil and the medium machine tool hydraulic oil have nearly the same kinematic viscosity at 212°F. However, because of their different viscosity index, their viscosities at 104°F are quite different. Calculate the Reynolds number for the flow of each oil at each temperature in a 5-in Schedule 80 steel pipe at 10 ft/s velocity. Are the flows laminar or turbulent?
