Question 1

What condition indicates laminar flow?

  • Re < 2300
  • Re > 4000
  • Re = 1000

💡 Hint: Remember the thresholds for flow classification.

Question 2

True or False: A Reynolds Number greater than 4000 implies turbulent flow.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about the flow characteristics at different Reynolds Numbers.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A pipe has a diameter of 10 cm, and water flows at 3 m/s. The kinematic viscosity of water at this temperature is 0.001 m²/s. Determine the Reynolds number and classify the flow.

💡 Hint: Use the Re formula and check the conditions for flow classification.

Question 2

In an industrial setup, oil is transported through a pipe with a diameter of 15 cm at 1 m/s. The oil has a kinematic viscosity of 0.05 m²/s. Calculate the Reynolds number and state whether the flow is laminar, turbulent, or transitional.

💡 Hint: Calculate using the formula and compare against the thresholds.
