Water is flowing through a very narrow tube. The velocity of water below which the flow remains a streamline flow is known as

Water flows from a tap of diameter $1.5 \ cm$ with a flow rate of $7.5 \times 10^{-5} \ m^3 \ s^{-1}$. The coefficient of viscosity of water is $10^{-3} \ Pa \cdot s$. The flow is:

Explain Reynolds Number.

Glycerine flows steadily through a horizontal tube of length $1.5 \; m$ and radius $1.0 \; cm$. If the amount of glycerine collected per second at one end is $4.0 \times 10^{-3} \; kg \; s^{-1}$,what is the pressure difference between the two ends of the tube? (Density of glycerine $= 1.3 \times 10^{3} \; kg \; m^{-3}$ and viscosity of glycerine $= 0.83 \; Pa \; s$). [You may also like to check if the assumption of laminar flow in the tube is correct]
