### Fluid Dynamics Problem: Determining the Friction Factor

**Problem Statement:**

Water is flowing in a round tube. The temperature is \( T = 25^\circ C \), the density \( \rho = 997 \, \text{kg/m}^3 \), and the dynamic viscosity \( \eta = 8.91 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{kg/(m·s)} \). The tube inside diameter is \( D = 100 \, \text{mm} \). The Reynolds number is \( \text{Re} = 1600 \). What is the friction factor?

**Given Data:**

- **Temperature (T):** \( 25^\circ C \)
- **Density (\(\rho\)):** \( 997 \, \text{kg/m}^3 \)
- **Dynamic Viscosity (\(\eta\)):** \( 8.91 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{kg/(m·s)} \)
- **Tube Inside Diameter (D):** \( 100 \, \text{mm} \)
- **Reynolds Number (\(\text{Re}\)):** \( 1600 \)

**Objective:**

Calculate the **friction factor** based on the provided parameters.

**Understanding the Problem:**

The **Reynolds number (\(\text{Re}\))** is used to predict flow patterns in different fluid flow situations. Specifically, in the context of this problem, \(\text{Re}\) is given as 1600, which typically suggests laminar flow, since \( \text{Re} < 2000 \).

- **Reynolds Number (\(\text{Re}\))**: 
\[ \text{Re} = \frac{\rho u D}{\eta} \]

Where \( u \) is the flow velocity.

**Friction Factor for Laminar Flow:**

For laminar flow, the friction factor \( f \) for a round pipe can be calculated using the formula:

\[ f = \frac{64}{\text{Re}} \]

Since the Reynolds number is provided (\( \text{Re} = 1600 \)):

\[ f = \frac{64}{1600} = 0.04 \]

**Conclusion:**

The friction factor for water flowing in the round tube under the given conditions is **0.04**
