What are the two types of flow in general?
Laminal Flow
Turbulent Flow
What are the factors for Laminar Flow?
1-3
Layers of adjacent fluid slide over each other
Streamlines are straight
Flow near wall slower than centre
Give an example of Laminar Flow?
Flow of Honey
Draw a Diagram to represent Laminar Flow?
_____
What are the factors for Turbulent Flow?
1-3
Irregular and chaotic particle path
Large scale mixing
Flow in radial
Give an example of Turbulent Flow?
Smoke billowing from chimney
Draw a diagram to represent Turbulent flow?
_____
What does the Flow Regime depend on?
The flow regime depends mainly on Reynolds Number
What is Reynolds Number?
Reynolds Number is the ratio of the inertial forces to viscous forces in the fluid
Write the word equation for Reynolds number?
π π= (πΌππππ‘πππ πΉπππππ )/(πππ πππ’π πΉπππππ )
