Each of the three different regions of tex2html_wrap_inline101 versus Q correspond to different types of flow. Match each of the following characteristics with the corresponding section on the graph:

Turbulent Flow: chaotic, swirling motions (vortex) of the fluid.

Laminar Flow: fluid moves slowly down the pipe.

Transitional Flow: difficult to predict and reproduce experimentally.

Try rerunning your experiment in the transitional regime. What do your results tell you about your chances of designing a reliable flow-delivery?
