Abstracts: Aims of this experiment firstly is to observe the characteristic of the flow of the fluid in the pipe, which may be laminar or turbulent flow by measuring the Reynolds number and the behavior of the flow, secondly to calculate the range for the laminar and turbulent flow and lastly to prove the Reynolds number is dimensionless by using the Reynolds number formula. For the first and second objectives, it involve running the Osborne Reynolds equipment with different of water volume flow rate. In this experiment we fix the time, which is 5 second to collect the amount of water. At the same time we also observe the characteristic of the flow, there are laminar, transition and turbulent flow.
