Jinsi ya kukokotoa Reynolds Number

Reynolds Number ni nini?

The Reynolds number (Re) predicts whether fluid flow is laminar (smooth, Re < 2,300) or turbulent (chaotic, Re > 4,000). It is dimensionless and fundamental to fluid dynamics.

Fomula

Re = ρvL/μ = vL/ν | where ρ = density, v = velocity, L = characteristic length, μ = dynamic viscosity, ν = kinematic viscosity
Re
Reynolds number (dimensionless)
ρ
Fluid density (kg/m³)
v
Flow velocity (m/s)
L
Characteristic length (m)
μ
Dynamic viscosity (Pa·s)
ν
Kinematic viscosity (m²/s)

Mwongozo wa Hatua kwa Hatua

  1. 1Re = ρ × v × d / μ
  2. 2ρ = density (kg/m³); v = velocity (m/s); d = diameter (m); μ = dynamic viscosity (Pa·s)
  3. 3Water at 20°C: μ ≈ 0.001 Pa·s
  4. 4Air at 20°C: μ ≈ 1.81×10⁻⁵ Pa·s

Mifano Iliyotatuliwa

Ingizo
Water at 0.5m/s in 5cm pipe
Matokeo
Re = 998 × 0.5 × 0.05 / 0.001 = 24,950 — Turbulent
