Brine, with a density of 1.25 grams per cubic centimeter and a viscosity of 0.01

Question

Brine, with a density of 1.25 grams per cubic centimeter and a viscosity of 0.014 grams per centimeter second is pumped through a 7-centimeter radius steel pipe at an velocity of 18 centimeters per second. Determine the Reynolds number in the pipe for the system and indicate if the flow is laminar transitional, or turbulent. The Reynolds number in the pipe for the system is (Round your answer to three significant digits. For scientific notation use the math pallet) Specify the type of flow. Choose the correct answer below. turbulent laminar transitional

Explanation / Answer

Reynolds number Re = p v Dpipe / mu

= (1.25 * 18 * 7) / (0.014)

= 11250

The system is fully turbulent for values of Re > 10000
