Laminar and Turbulent Flow in Pipes

Resource with valid author:
- Mechanics of Fluids, 7th edition by B. S. Massey and John Ward Smith
I chose this resource because of its reliability since it is a registered book and its availability since there's an ebook version  available online.

Resource with not valid author:
- Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laminar%E2%80%93turbulent_transition)
I will not use this resource since it is unreliable because anyone could be the author of the articles in this website.
