Chapter 1

Chapter 1 covers the fundamentals of pipe flow, introducing key concepts such as Reynolds number (Re) and the relationship between inertial and viscous forces. It explains the conditions under which flow is dominated by either viscous or inertial effects. The chapter also includes relevant equations and definitions for density and dynamic viscosity.
