Question: Suppose a fluid from the list below flows at 5 m/s over a flat plate 15 cm long. Calculate the Reynolds number at the downstream

Suppose a fluid from the list below flows at 5 m/s over a flat plate 15 cm long. Calculate the Reynolds number at the downstream end of the plate. Indicate if the flow at that point is laminar, transition, or turbulent.
