Question 1.
What is the formula for Reynolds number?
Show hintHide hint
It includes density, velocity, hydraulic radius, and viscosity.
Question 2.
What flow regime occurs when Reynolds number is less than 500?
Show hintHide hint
It's the first regime in classification.
3Question 3.
What is the flow regime if the Reynolds number is 400?
- Laminar
- Transitional
- Turbulent
Show hintHide hint
Check the classification boundaries.
4Question 4.
True or False: Turbulent flow can only occur when the Reynolds number is greater than 12,500.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Refer back to the Reynolds number classifications.
Question 5.
A channel with dense fluid flows at 1.5 m/s, with hydraulic radius of 0.2m, and viscosity 0.0007 Pa·s. What’s the flow regime?
Show hintHide hint
Remember to use the Reynolds number formula based on provided parameters.
Question 6.
In a lab, water has a low viscosity and flows slowly through a pipe. If the velocity is 0.03 m/s, what can you conclude about the Reynolds number?
Show hintHide hint
Use the small flow conditions to evaluate likely flow characteristics.
