3 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
Define laminar flow.
Think about how fluid moves without turbulence.
What does the Reynolds number tell us?
Remember the values that classify flow types.
What is the characteristic of laminar flow?
Consider the opposite of turbulent flow.
True or False: A Reynolds number of 3000 indicates laminar flow.
Remember the classifications for the Reynolds number.
A fluid with a viscosity of 0.9 Pa.s flows through a circular pipe of 0.1 m diameter. If the flow rate is 0.01 m³/s, determine the pressure drop over 10 m using the appropriate equations.
Rearrange to isolate dp/dx.
Analyze a scenario where a liquid is flowing through pipes of different diameters (0.05 m and 0.1 m) at the same flow rate. Use Reynolds number to discuss which pipe might experience laminar or turbulent flow.
Recall that smaller diameters typically promote laminar flow.
