This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Reynolds Number in Tube - Reynolds Number in Tube is the ratio of inertial forces to viscous forces within a fluid which is subjected to relative internal movement due to different fluid velocities.
Mass Velocity - (Measured in Kilogram per Second per Square Meter) - Mass Velocity is defined as the weight flow rate of a fluid divided by the cross-sectional area of the enclosing chamber or conduit.
Diameter of Tube - (Measured in Meter) - Diameter of Tube is a straight line passing from side to side through the center of a body or figure, especially a circle or sphere.
Dynamic Viscosity - (Measured in Pascal Second) - Dynamic viscosity of a fluid is the measure of its resistance to flow when an external force is applied.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Mass Velocity: 13 Kilogram per Second per Square Meter --> 13 Kilogram per Second per Square Meter No Conversion Required
Diameter of Tube: 9.72 Meter --> 9.72 Meter No Conversion Required
Dynamic Viscosity: 0.6 Poise --> 0.06 Pascal Second (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

Re_d = (G*d)/(μ) --> (13*9.72)/(0.06)

Evaluating ... ...

What is Convection?

Convection is the process of heat transfer by the bulk movement of molecules within fluids such as gases and liquids. The initial heat transfer between the object and the fluid takes place through conduction, but the bulk heat transfer happens due to the motion of the fluid. Convection is the process of heat transfer in fluids by the actual motion of matter. It happens in liquids and gases. It may be natural or forced. It involves a bulk transfer of portions of the fluid.

What are the Types of Convection?

There are two types of convection, and they are: Natural convection: When convection takes place due to buoyant force as there is a difference in densities caused by the difference in temperatures it is known as natural convection. Examples of natural convection are oceanic winds. Forced convection: When external sources such as fans and pumps are used for creating induced convection, it is known as forced convection. Examples of forced convection are using water heaters or geysers for instant heating of water and using a fan on a hot summer day.

How to Calculate Reynolds Number given Mass Velocity?

Reynolds Number given Mass Velocity calculator uses Reynolds Number in Tube = (Mass Velocity*Diameter of Tube)/(Dynamic Viscosity) to calculate the Reynolds Number in Tube, The Reynolds Number given Mass Velocity formula is defined as the function of Mass velocity, diameter of tube and dynamic viscosity. Consider the flow in a tube. A boundary layer develops at the entrance, Eventually the boundary layer fills the entire tube, and the flow is said to be fully developed. If the flow is laminar, a parabolic velocity profile is experienced. When the flow is turbulent, a somewhat blunter profile is observed. In a tube, the Reynolds number is again used as a criterion for laminar and turbulent flow. Reynolds Number in Tube is denoted by Re_d symbol.

How to calculate Reynolds Number given Mass Velocity using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Reynolds Number given Mass Velocity, enter Mass Velocity (G), Diameter of Tube (d) & Dynamic Viscosity (μ) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Reynolds Number given Mass Velocity calculation can be explained with given input values -> 2106 = (13*9.72)/(0.06).
