REYNOLDS NUMBER ANALYSIS (Re)

Re = VD /
Where, = density of air
V= velocity of air exerted
D = diameter /length
= viscosity
Apply the equation above;
Re = (1000)(8)(0.065) / (0.8538x10-3)
= 609.04x103
This is turbulent flow, where the Re number is above 5x105 (for velocity 8 ms-1)
At 10 ms-1 , Re = 761x103
At 12 ms-1 , Re = 913.56x103
At 14 ms-1 , Re = 1.066x106
At 16 ms-1 , Re = 1.22x106
At 18 ms-1 , Re = 1.37x106
At 20 ms-1 ,Re = 1.523x106
