1. McCabe Problem 3.1: For the following situations of steady flow, determine whether the flow is laminar or turbulent a) water at 10°C flowing at an average velocity of 2 m/s

in a 100 mm pipe b) air at 2-atm pressure and 180°F flowing at 50 ft/s in a 12-in duch; c) oil with a specific gravity of 0.78 and a viscosity of 20 cP flowing at 5 ft/s in a 2-in pipe; d) polymer melt with a density of 900 and a viscotiy of 1 Pa-sec floing at 0.2 m/s in a 15-mm tube. (hint: be sure to correct density for temperature using information in the appendices)
