The uniform velocity ‘U’ of water flowing in a pipe at 70 oF is R ft/s. Figure out the following (a) the distance at which the transition occurs from a laminar to a turbulent boundary layer and (b) thickness at the point of transition [if the thickness of this initial laminar boundary layer is given by 4.91 (vx/U)^0.5] (v = 1.052 X 10-5 ft2/s)
