Let's revisit the pipe flow example considered in the previous exercise.          As before, the inlet velocity is 1 m/s, the fluid exhausts into the ambient          atmosphere and density is 1 _kg/m{_}{_}{^}3{^}_. For µ = 2          x 10 ^\-5^ _kg/(ms_), the Reynolds no. based on the pipe diameter          and average velocity at the inlet is

\large
$$
{Re} = {\rho VD \over \mu} = 10,000
$$
{latex}
At this Reynolds number, the flow is usually completely turbulent.
