Question 2 2A. Define Reynolds number. 2B. What is the range of Reynolds number where the Darcy's Law is applicable? 2C. How should you ensure you are in the valid range of Reynolds number to apply the Darcy's Law correctly? 2D. Consider a porous medium with the following rock properties • Porosity, Ø = 20% • Permeability, k = 200 mD The fluid being injected into the medium at a Darcian velocity, u = 5 cm/s, has the following properties • Fluid Density, p = 0.8 g/cm3 • Fluid viscosity, u = 2 CP Based on the information provided, find if the Darcy's Law is valid for this flow system. If yes, why? If not, why not?
