                Because Reynolds no. Help us to tell either the flow of water through pipe is turbulent or laminar. That's why it is directly proportional to velocity and length.

                The flow of water through pipe is turbulent or laminar that is right answer.

                Re=pvl/m. p density and m absolute velocity. so Re directly proportional to v and l.

                Apply formula re=row*v*l/meu.
From this re is proportional to v.
                From this re is proportional to v.

                Reynolds number = ratio of inertia force to viscous force. 
viscous force = ((mue)*(v/L)*a.
SO IT IS DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL TO THIS.
                viscous force = ((mue)*(v/L)*a.
SO IT IS DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL TO THIS.

                Reynold's number is show of flow of water.
Example laminar and turbulent flow:
Rn<2000 laminar flow.
Rn>4000 turbulent flow.
                Example laminar and turbulent flow:
Rn<2000 laminar flow.
Rn>4000 turbulent flow.

                Turbulent or laminar flow is determined by the dimensionless Reynolds Number.
The Reynolds number is important in analyzing any type of flow when there is substantial velocity gradient (i.e. , shear). It indicates the relative significance of the viscous effect compared to the inertia effect. The Reynolds number is proportional to inertial force divided by viscous force.

                Guys still I don't get how it's directly proportional to its velocity and length. Please explain me.

                Reynold number = density * average velocity * diameter  ÷ dynamic viscosity. It's Reynold number formula.
