What are the limitations of the concept of turbulence in fluid dynamics?

Water is conveyed through a uniform tube of $8 \text{ cm}$ in diameter and $3140 \text{ m}$ in length at the rate of $2 \times 10^{-3} \text{ m}^3/\text{s}$. The pressure required to maintain the flow is (Viscosity of water $= 10^{-3} \text{ SI units}$):

We have two narrow capillary tubes $T_1$ and $T_2$. Their lengths are $l_1$ and $l_2$ and radii of cross-section are $r_1$ and $r_2$ respectively. The rate of flow of water under a pressure difference $P$ through tube $T_1$ is $8 \ cm^3/sec$. If $l_1 = 2l_2$ and $r_1 = r_2$,what will be the rate of flow when the two tubes are connected in series and the pressure difference across the combination is the same as before $(= P)$?
