LAMINAR AND TURBULENT FLOW We can observe the nature of the flow of a fluid by injecting a fine filament of dye into the stream of flow and taking note of what happens to this filament. It was found in experiments that at low velocities the dye filament remained intact and that the filaments made parallel lines in the stream of flow. This is known as Laminar flow (or viscous or streamline). If the velocity of flow is gradually increased, the dye filament is eventually broken up and spread

relationship between the workplace and stress Many people believe work affects their health. Defining what is stressful in the workplace is not easy, because individuals react quite differently to the same situation. However, some common factors have been found in many workers that cause them stress and in some cases lead to illness.
