CONCLUSION

As a conclusion, during conducting our experiment the Flow Pattern using the Reynold
Appratus , we have learnt about the Reynolds number is an important dimensionless quantity in fluid
mechanics used to help predict flow patterns in different fluid flow situations. One very common
example of Reynolds number is ,it is using the volume , time and volumetric flow rate. Hence we
have learnt on how to observe the laminar , transitional and turbulent flow using this Reynolds
number. Laminar flow generally happens when dealing with small pipes and low flow velocities.
Laminar flow can be regarded as a series of liquid cylinders in the pipe, where the innermost parts
flow the fastest, and the cylinder touching the pipe isn't moving at all. Transitional flow is a mixture
of laminar and turbulent flow, with turbulence in the center of the pipe, and laminar flow near the
edges. Each of these flows behave in different manners in terms of their frictional energy loss while
flowing and have different equations that predict their behavior. Turbulent flow occurs at high
Reynolds numbers and is dominated by inertial forces, which tend to produce
chaotic eddies, vortices and other flow instabilities.
