Assume that laminar flow of 60ºF water has been maintained in a 1-in. schedule 160 (actual I.D. of 0.815-in.), horizontal, 100-ft-long commercial steel pipe at a Reynolds number of 24,000. (Yes, laminar flow is possible at a Reynolds number that is this high under very controlled conditions.) Compare the pressure drop for this flow and that of turbulent flow for the same Reynolds number.

Air Under standard conditions flows through a 4.0.mm diameter down tubing with an average velocity of V=50 m/s. For such conditions the flow would normally be turbulent. However, if precautions are taken to eliminate disturbance to the flow (the entrance to the tube is very smooth, the air is dust free, the tube does not vibrate, etc) it may be possible to maintain laminar flow. Find (a). Determine the pressure drop in 0.1.m section of the tube if the flow...

A rectangular horizontal-flow sedimentation basin in a conventional water treatment plant has been designed to treat a flow of 50,000 m3 /day. It has a length = 80 m, width = 20 m, and depth = 3.6 m. For this problem, assume temperature = 20 °C (density of water = 103 kg/m3 and viscosity = 10-3 kg/m·s) and laminar flow. a. What is the hydraulic detention time? Does this meet the typical criteria for this type of sedimentation basin? b....
