3 a. A fluid with viscosity 𝒙 cp and density 1.32 g/cm3 is flowing in a long 5

horizontal tube of radius 𝟏. 𝟓 in. For what pressure gradient will the
flow become turbulent?
sin2(𝑧 − 540)
𝑥= √
cos 2 (𝑧 + 540)
Where z is the last three digits of your roll number.

4 Water is flowing through a long, straight, level run of smooth 6.00 in. 5
I.D. pipe, at a temperature of 68°F. The pressure gradient along the
length of the pipe is 1.0 psi/mi. Derive the equation for wall stress 𝜏0
and determine its value.
