Question: Characteristics of laminar flow
- Reynold’s number is more than 2000
- Depends on the density of the fluid
- Changes to turbulent above critical velocity
- Fastest at the centre
- Predictable
Explanation:
Laminar Flow:
- Smooth and predictable
- Flow moves in a steady-state with no turbulence or eddies.
- Moves parallel to the wall in concentric circles
- Flow is fastest in the mid-centre and zeroes in the peripheral wall.
- Relates to the viscosity of the fluid
- Reynold’s number is less than 2000
- Hagen-Poiseuille Equation is used to determine laminar flow, defined as:
Flow (Q)=π (P1-P2)r ⁴/8ηl
Where P1 – P2 = Pressure difference across the tube between two points
r = Radius of the tube
η = Viscosity of fluid
L = Length
Critical velocity:
Velocity above which the flow pattern changes from laminar to turbulent
Answers:
- false
- false
- true
- true
- true
