1. Glycerin (20C) flows in a 4 cm steel tube with a mean velocity of 40 cm/s. Is the flow laminar
or turbulent? hat is shear stress at the center of the tube an! at the wall? If the tube is vertical
an! the flow is !ownwar!" will the #ressure increase or !ecrease in the !irection of flow? $t
what rate?
