III. An experimental determination of the variation with temperature of the critical velocity of flow of water in pipes

Abstract
The motion of water in pipes and channels has been the subject of frequent investigation, both from the theoretical and the experimental side, and it is well known that while in some cases theory and experiment are in exact accord, yet in many others the experimental results differ widely from the calculated. In some cases, while the theory holds for one set of conditions, it is found not to hold for conditions which at first do not appear to be fundamentally different.
