At a festival, spherical balloons with a radius of 140.cm are to be inflated with hot air and released. The air at the festival
will have a temperature of 25°C and must be heated to 100°C to make the balloons float. 1.00kg of propane C3H8 fuel are available to be burned to heat the air. Calculate the maximum number of balloons that can be inflated with hot air. Here are some data you may find useful: Specific heat capacity of air: 1.009J·g°C Density of air at 100°C: 0.946kgm3 Density of propane at 100°C: 1.440kgm3 Formation enthalpy of propane at 25°C: −103.85kJmol

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.
