Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
This changeover from laminar to turbulent flow depends on several factors, including fluid den-sity (d), viscosity (h), linear velocity (v), and tube radius (r). In combination, these factors deter-mine Reynold's number (NR):
NR = v  d  2r/h

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
In a smooth-bore tube, laminar flow becomes turbulent when NR exceeds 2000 (the number is dimensionless). According to the previous formula, conditions favoring turbulent flow include increased fluid velocity, increased fluid density, increased tube radius, or decreased fluid viscos-ity. In the presence of irregular tube walls, turbulent flow can occur when NR is less than 2000.
