(TURBULENT) When the Reynolds number $(R_e)$ exceeds $2000$,the flow of the fluid is considered to be turbulent.
In turbulent flow,the fluid particles move in an irregular,chaotic,and unpredictable manner.
This type of flow is characterized by the formation of eddies,vortices,and fluctuations in velocity at any given point in the fluid.
Unlike laminar flow,where fluid layers slide smoothly over each other,turbulent flow involves significant mixing and energy dissipation due to internal friction.

Three capillaries of length $L, L/2$ and $L/3$ are connected in series. Their radii are $r, r/2$ and $r/3$ respectively. If stream-line flow is to be maintained and the pressure difference across the first capillary is $P$,then:

If water flows with a velocity of $20 \,cm \,s^{-1}$ in a pipe of radius $2 \,cm$, then the flow is (The coefficient of viscosity of water is $10^{-3} \,kg \,m^{-1} \,s^{-1}$ and density of water is $10^3 \,kg \,m^{-3}$).

When a liquid of density $\rho$ flows through a tube of diameter $d$ with critical velocity $V$,then the Reynolds number is (where $\eta$ is the coefficient of viscosity of the liquid).

The rate of steady volume flow of water through a capillary tube of length $l$ and radius $r$,under a pressure difference of $p$ is $V$. This tube is connected with another tube of the same length but half the radius,in series. Then,the rate of steady volume flow through them is (The pressure difference across the combination is $p$.)
