Three capillaries of length $L, L/2$ and $L/3$ are connected in series. Their radii are $r, r/2$ and $r/3$ respectively. If stream-line flow is to be maintained and the pressure difference across the first capillary is $P$,then:

What is turbulent flow? Give its illustrations.

We have two narrow capillary tubes $T_1$ and $T_2$. Their lengths are $l_1$ and $l_2$ and radii of cross-section are $r_1$ and $r_2$ respectively. The rate of flow of water under a pressure difference $P$ through tube $T_1$ is $8 \ cm^3/sec$. If $l_1 = 2l_2$ and $r_1 = r_2$,what will be the rate of flow when the two tubes are connected in series and the pressure difference across the combination is the same as before $(= P)$?
