Question
Answer the first question
**Problem Statement: Direction of Flow Determination**

Water flows in a pipe of 1-inch diameter at a temperature of 70°F. The pressure values at points 1 and 2 are found to be 20 psi and 25 psi, respectively. The elevation of point 1 is 12 feet, and the elevation of point 2 is 0 feet. There are 15 feet of pipe between the two points. 

*Determine the direction of flow.*

- ( ) Flow is from point 1 to point 2
- ( ) Flow is from point 2 to point 1
- ( ) Water does not flow between point 1 and point 2

**Problem Statement: Minimum Discharge for Non-Laminar Flow**

[Continued from previous question]

Water flows in a pipe of 1-inch diameter at a temperature of 70°F. The pressure values at points 1 and 2 are found to be 20 psi and 25 psi, respectively. The elevation of point 1 is 12 feet, and the elevation of point 2 is 0 feet. There is 15 feet of pipe between the two points. 

*What is the minimum discharge above which the flow will not be laminar?*
