Hi,
Hope you are doing well.

Given that,
Absolute viscosity of the fluid,
Density of the fluid,
Diameter of the pipe,
Velocity of fluid,
__________________________________________________________________________
Therefore, Reynolds number of the fluid is given by,
We know that, When the value of is less than 2100, then the flow will be laminar.
Therefore, this flow is laminar.
