Reynolds Number and Critical Velocity

Reynolds Number and Critical Velocity

The Reynolds Number, used in the annular Power Law Model calculations is calculated using equivalent viscosity


:

Reynolds Number is then:




The fluid velocity that will produce the critical Reynolds Number for given fluid properties and pipe configuration is found using:




where: ReL = Laminar/Transitional Reynolds Number
(3470-1370n).
