A fluid is being pumped through a pipe. The density of fluid is 872 kg/m³. The viscosity is 2.8x10² Pa.s. The velocity in the pipe is 5.9 m/s. If the Reynolds number is 2100. a- What is the pipe cross-sectional area? b- If the pipe cross-sectional area increased 1.5 fold under same Reynold number, density and viscosity, what is the new velocity?

Question
A fluid is being pumped through a pipe. The density of fluid is 872 kg/m³. The viscosity
is 2.8x102 Pa.s. The velocity in the pipe is 5.9 m/s. If the Reynolds number is 2100.
a- What is the pipe cross-sectional area?
b- If the pipe cross-sectional area increased 1.5 fold under same Reynold number,
density and viscosity, what is the new velocity?
