LAMINAR FLOW
In fluid dynamics, the word As a result, the fluid particles
laminar flow is used to follow routes that do not
describe the uniform, orderly collide or cross over one
motion of a fluid (liquid or another, creating a predictable
gas), in which the fluid and stable flow pattern.

LAMINAR FLOW
A low Reynolds number, a dimensionless
measure used to determine whether a flow will
be laminar or turbulent, characterizes laminar
flow, which often occurs at low velocities.
Contrarily, turbulent flow is characterized by
substantial mixing and eddying, as well as
chaotic and irregular movement of fluid
particles.

FLOW
When a fluid is flowing in small, smooth
channels or pipes, has a high viscosity, or
has a low velocity, laminar flow is frequently
seen. Blood flowing through tiny blood
veins, oil moving through a small tube, and
the movement of a viscous liquid in a
laboratory are examples of laminar flow.

ORIFACE
PLATE
The flow rate of a fluid, such as a gas or
liquid, via a pipeline or conduit is measured
using an orifice plate, a tool used in fluid
mechanics and engineering. It consists of a
thin, flat plate with an exact hole (or orifice)
drilled or machined into the middle of it. The
orifice plate is put in place perpendicular to
the pipeline's fluid flow.
