Calculate Reynolds Number









Formula

The formula to calculate the Reynolds Number (Re) is:

\[ Re = \frac{\rho \cdot u_{\text{Fluid}} \cdot D_{\text{Tube}}}{\mu_{\text{viscosity}}} \]

Definition

Reynolds number is the ratio of inertial forces to viscous forces within a fluid which is subjected to relative internal movement due to different fluid velocities.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ Re = \frac{400 \cdot 12 \cdot 1.1}{1.02} \approx 5176.47058823529 \]

The Reynolds Number is approximately 5176.47058823529.
