Your boss tells you that water at 68 F is flowing in a cooling tower loop at a rate of 600 gpm, in an 8-inch inside diameter pip

e. Your boss asks you whether this flow is the laminar or turbulent flow regime. Calculate the Reynolds number and state whether the flow is laminar or turbulent.

Explanation:

The volumetric flow rate of water will be as follows.

       q = 600 gpm \times \frac{0.000063 m^{3} s^{-1}}{1 gpm}

         = 0.0378 m^{3}/s


    Diameter = 8 in \times \frac{0.0254 m}{1 in}

                   = 0.2032 m

Relation between area and diameter is as follows.

           A = \frac{\pi}{4} \times D^{2}

               = \frac{3.14}{4} \times (0.2032 m)^{2}

               = 0.785 x 0.2032 x 0.2032

               = 0.0324 m^{2}

Also,     q = A × V

or,         V = \frac{q}{A}

                = \frac{0.0378 m^{3}/s}{0.0324 m^{2}}

                = 1.166 m/s

As, viscosity of water = 1 cP = 10^{-3} Pa-s

Density of water = 1000 kg/m^{3}

Therefore, we will calculate Reynolds number as follows.

 Reynolds number = \frac{D \times V \times density}{viscosity}

                                 = \frac{0.2032 m \times 1.166 m/s  \times 1000}{10^{-3}}  

                                = 236931.2

Hence, the flow will be turbulent in nature.

Thus, we can conclude that the Reynolds number is 236931.2 and flow is turbulent.

Iron is a solid, grey metal. Oxygen is a colorless gas. When iron and oxygen chemically combine , rust is made. Rust has a reddi
Phoenix [80]
Because the formation of rust is a kind of chemistry reaction.
After chemistry reaction, compound with new properties is produced.
Of course, color is one of the new properties.
For example, if you put iron in colorless acid solution, a green solution is made.
This kind of chemisty reaction differs from physical reaction, for example, pigment with one color dissolves in liquid, a liquid with same color is made.

A gallon of water has a mass of 3.79 kg. how many moles of water (18.02 g/mol) is this?
garik1379 [7]
First, we will convert the mass of the gallon to grams:
a gallon of water has a mass of 3.79 * 1000 = 3790 grams of water

number of moles can be calculated using the following rule:
number of moles = mass / molar mass
Therefore,
number of moles = 3790 / 18.02 = 210.32 moles
