Heat is transferred at a rate of 2 kW from a hot reservoir at 800 K to a cold reservoir at 300 K. Calculate the rate at which th
e entropy of the two reservoirs changes. (Round the final answer to six decimal places.) The rate at which the entropy of the two reservoirs changes is kW/K.

Answer:
If Reynolds number increases the extent of the region around the object that is affected by viscosity decreases.
Explanation:
Reynolds number is an important dimensionless parameter in fluid mechanics.
It is calculated as;
where;
ρ is density
v is velocity
d is diameter
μ is viscosity
All these parameters are important in calculating Reynolds number and understanding of fluid flow over an object.
In aerodynamics, the higher the Reynolds number, the lesser the viscosity plays a role in the flow around the airfoil. As Reynolds number increases, the boundary layer gets thinner, which results in a lower drag. Or simply put, if Reynolds number increases the extent of the region around the object that is affected by viscosity decreases.
