Explanation:
The volumetric flow rate of water will be as follows.
q =
= 0.0378
Diameter =
= 0.2032 m
Relation between area and diameter is as follows.
A =
=
= 0.785 x 0.2032 x 0.2032
= 0.0324
Also, q = A × V
or, V =
=
= 1.166 m/s
As, viscosity of water = 1 cP = Pa-s
Density of water = 1000
Therefore, we will calculate Reynolds number as follows.
Reynolds number =
=
= 236931.2
Hence, the flow will be turbulent in nature.
Thus, we can conclude that the Reynolds number is 236931.2 and flow is turbulent.
