Question: A liquid being pumped inside a 1 2 inch diameter pipe. The liquid's density is 8 7 5 k g m 3 and its viscosity

A liquid being pumped inside a 12 inch diameter pipe. The liquid's density is 875kgm3 and its viscosity is 2.2510-2Pa*s. It is required that the velocity bounds satisfy the criteria 1msV3ms. inch =2.54cm
(1) What is the flow regime based on the velocity range? (hint: give the bounds of the Reynolds number)
(2) It is desired to insure a turbulent regime and the same velocity range as in part (a) using a second fluid with a density of 935kgm3 and a viscosity of 1.510-2Pa*s. What pipe diameter should be used? (hint: for Turbulence Re ???)
