Input
Calculated Value
D0= Pipe OD 0.1143 m
t= insulation thickness 0.0056 m
D= Pipe diameter 0.1031 m
Q= Flowrate 0.0644 m3/s
A= C.S. Area of pipe 0.008348 m2
V= Fluid Velocity 7.713983 m/s
= Density of fluid 880 kg/m3
= Viscosity of fluid 0.00281 Pa.s
g= 9.81 m/s2
Calculation of Reynolds no.
Re= Reynold's No. 249065.6
Re > 4000 so flow is turbulent flow
