Chapter 8, Problem 27P
Free-surface waves begin to form on a laminar liquid film flowing down an inclined surface whenever the Reynolds number, based on mass flow per unit width of film, is larger than about 33. Estimate the maximum thickness of a laminar film of water that remains free from waves while flowing down a vertical surface.

Change in pipe diameter occurs abruptly 20 ft from the reservoir. Also, the entrance and exit regions of pipes are sharp edged. The average. surface roughness height is € = 1.5 x 10-4 ft for both pipes. The water surface of the reservoir on the left is 45 ft higher than that of the other reservoir. Flows at and are nearly at rest, but the flow inside both pipes is not. Considering minor losses as well, estimate the volume flow rate of water at 20° C. The minor loss coefficients are 0.5 for a sharp pipe entrance, 0.56 for a sudden pipe expansion in diameter, and 1.0 for a pipe exit. Use the standard value for the gravitational acceleration g.
