Estimate the type of flow in a channel having cross sectional area of 50m^2 and top of the channel is 5m. The mean velocity of flow is 0.1m/s and the absolute viscosity of water is 0.625 N-s/m^2.
(a) Laminar
(b) Turbulent
(c) Transition
(d) Steady
I have been asked this question during an interview for a job.
