Answer:
Yes, the flow is turbulent.
Explanation:
Reynolds number gives the nature of flow. If he Reynolds number is less than 2000 then the flow is laminar else turbulent.
Given:
Diameter of pipe is 10mm.
Velocity of the pipe is 1m/s.
Temperature of water is 200°C.
The kinematic viscosity at temperature 200°C is m2/s.
Calculation:
Step1
Expression for Reynolds number is given as follows:
Here, v is velocity, is kinematic viscosity, d is diameter and Re is Reynolds number.
Substitute the values in the above equation as follows:
Re=64226.07579
Thus, the Reynolds number is 64226.07579. This is greater than 2000.
Hence, the given flow is turbulent flow.
