Chapter 9, Problem 6RQ
- 6. A biodegradable fuel having a specific gravity of 0.95 and a viscosity of 0.04 grams per centimeter second [g/(cm s)] is draining by gravity from the bottom of a tank. The drain line is a plastic 3-inch [in] diameter pipe. The velocity is 5.02 meters per second [m/s]. Determine the Reynolds number in the pipe for the system and indicate if the flow is laminar, in transition, or turbulent.
