Always good to keep updated with fluid dynamics - especially with such an important concept of the Reynolds number. My answer to the question is Eddies form during Turbulent Flow!
Hi sir, a few years ago, I got caught up with the story of the friction factor. How Blassius obtained his equation, the Prandtl equation(Nikuradse and Von Kárman) for smooth pipes, when they began to call the equation obtained by Osborne Reynolds the Reynolds number, what White had to do with the Colebrook equation... Etc. It was hours of reading and pure entertainment.
Hi guys. I hope anyone can answer my question. I was wondering if you could make use of the Reynolds number while making the design of a process. Maybe for the pipes? I just would like to read you guys, Take care!
Hi there, thank you for your question. Reynolds No. is integral to process design as in order to fully design any process whether it is the piping system or main plant units, it's essential to know the type of flow you are working with, as the correlations required in the design phase will differ significantly, especially within Heat and Mass Transfer. This will then lead to different resistance times, different utility demands, varying sizes of equipment etc. So generally speaking Reynolds is one of the most essential parameters to find and also should be one of the first, as it highly influences many design elements. I hope this helps.

That is a fascinating story, I find those things so interesting, thank you for sharing this!
such a good story!
Really enjoyed this one, I think the dimensionless groups are fascinating, my answer is an eddy🌪
Thank you for your answer, good luck!
Very good video sir, my answer is a vortex!
Thank you for your answer, good luck!
Thank you sir. It was so clear. My answer is eddies.
Thank you for your kind words, and good luck!
Always a top quality lecture Dr
Thank you for your kind words!
My answer is an eddy as this is a vortex of turbulence that forms, a good example would be a weather storm.
Thank you for your answer, good luck!
This was good, my answer is a vortex formation
Thank you for your answer, good luck!

Who doesn't love Reynolds number here!!!
I couldn't agree more!
MY answer isEddies
Thank you for your answer, good luck!
