1) As the cross section is square, we will use hydraulic diameter
for square, d = 4A/P
so,
d = 4 * 1.5 / 4*1.2247
d = 1.2247 m
so,
NOTE - WHAT ARE THE UNITS OF VISCOSITY IN TABLE ??? IS IS mPa.s (does m here stands for milli..?.)
Reynold's number = 1.204 * 2 * 1.2247 / 0.02217E-3
Reynold's number = 1.33e5
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(2) when v = 27 m/s
Reynold's number = 1.204 * 27 * 1.2247 / 0.02217E-3
Reynold's number = 1.8e6
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3) for swimmer,
Reynold's number = 1000 * 2.3 * 1.4 / 1.03e-3
Reynold's number = 3.12e6
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4) for whale
Reynold's number = 1000 * 13.9 * 2 * 1.9 / 1.03e-3
Reynold's number = 5.12e7
Calculate the Reynolds number, Re- (2rpv)/ n, for the following situations and decide whether the flow...
Calculate the Reynolds number, Re = (2rρv)/ η , for the following situations and decide whether the flow of fluid around them is laminar or turbulent. Then calculate the frag force using the appropriate formula. For the radius, use r = 2(Area/perimeter) which, for a circle, gives the radius. Densities and viscosities are in the table on page 2. Also, to keep things uniform, we will use the boundaries for laminar and turbulent flow from Engineer's Toolbox, also on pg....
