Question
Could you help me with this quesion please.
The Reynolds number, Re, is a dimensionless number used to characterize different flow regimes in a fluid. The Reynolds number can be defined as Re = DVrho/mu where D is the diameter of the pipe, V is the mean fluid velocity, p is the density of the fluid, and mu is the dynamic viscosity of the fluid. What is the Reynolds number of blood leaving the heart through the aorta if it has a dynamic viscosity of mu = 3.20 cP (centipoise), a density of rho = 1045 kg/m3, travels at a mean fluid velocity of V = 37.0 cm/s, and the diameter of the aorta is D = 2.05 cm?
Explanation / Answer
(2.05*37*1.045)/3.2= 24.77
