Title : computing the Reynolds number to find
|
|||
|
|
out the type of flow (laminar or turbulent)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Reynolds number is a dimensionless quantity that is used to determine
|
|||
|
|
the type of flow pattern as laminar or turbulent while flowing through a
|
|||
|
|
pipe. Reynolds number is defined by the ratio of inertial forces to that of
|
|||
|
|
viscous forces.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
R = Inertial Forces / Viscous Forces
|
|||
|
|
R = (ρ * V * D)/μ
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
where :
|
|||
|
|
ρ = Density of fluid (in Kg/m^3)
|
|||
|
|
D = Diameter of pipe through which fluid flows (in m)
|
|||
|
|
V = Velocity of flow of the fluid (in m/s)
|
|||
|
|
μ = Viscosity of the fluid (in Ns/m^2)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If the Reynolds number calculated is high (greater than 2000), then the
|
|||
|
|
flow through the pipe is said to be turbulent. If Reynolds number is low
|
|||
|
|
(less than 2000), the flow is said to be laminar. Numerically, these are
|
|||
|
|
acceptable values, although in general the laminar and turbulent flows
|
|||
|
|
are classified according to a range. Laminar flow falls below Reynolds
|
|||
|
|
number of 1100 and turbulent falls in a range greater than 2200.
|
|||
|
|
Laminar flow is the type of flow in which the fluid travels smoothly in
|
|||
|
|
regular paths. Conversely, turbulent flow isn't smooth and follows an
|
|||
|
|
irregular path with lots of mixing.
