To indicate that pipe flow will be laminar for (Re) less than 2000
and turbulent for (Re) greater than 4000 and the region between
2000 and 4000 is transition region.
:Results *
Density of water = 1000 Kg/m^3 -
.Viscosity of water = 1.002cp = 1.002 * 10^-3 pa. s -
Diameter of pipe (D) = 1 cm = 0.01 m -
Cross sectional area of pipe = (πD²/4 ) =7.854*10^-5 m - 3^

:Discussion *
They are three types of fluid flow Based on the results which
founded (laminar. turbulent. Transition).
:Conclusions *
Reynolds number is a good tool for specifying the type of flow *
which could be laminar, transition or turbulent depending on the
.numerical value of this dimensionless group
