A fluid has density 1,260 kg m and is a Newtonian fluid. It is pumped at 471 litres per minute through a straight smooth-walled pipe of diameter 100 mm and length 20 m. Flow is laminar. The pressure drop along the length of pipe is 115.2 kPa. Calculate the viscosity of the fluid. Calculate the Reynolds number. A fluid has density 1,260 kg m and is a Newtonian fluid.
