Reynolds Number
•Rate
Reynolds
of Flow is an English investigator who first demonstrate
the •finite existence
The rate of flow of of
fluidthe streamlined
is constant andinturbulent
at any point a system andflow.
there is no
accumulation or depletion of fluid within the system.
• Equation
• Formula
Re = D V d / µ
𝑄 = 𝐴1𝑉1ρ = 𝐴2 𝑉2ρ = ⋯ = 𝐴𝑛 𝑉𝑛ρ
where:
where: Q – mass flow rate, kg/s
A – cross-sectional area of pipe, m2 V –
Re – Reynolds number linear velocity of fluid,
D - inside diameter of pipe, ft of fluid, kg/m3
ρ– Density
Examples of Radiation
• A hot burner on a stove or a fire emits large amounts of
infrared and a smaller amount of visible radiation
•Mammals (~40° C) emit mostly infrared radiation
• Our sun (~6000° C) emits a large amount of visible light
• Incandescent lights (regular light bulbs) have heated
filaments that emit visible light
Example of Heat Transfer
• A radiator works by circulating steam through a series of
pipes, where it condenses and releases heat
• Heat is transferred by conduction, convection, and
radiation
