Reynolds Number and Critical Velocity
The Reynolds Number, used in the annular Power Law Model calculations is calculated using equivalent viscosity
:
Reynolds Number is then:
The fluid velocity that will produce the critical Reynolds Number for given fluid properties and pipe configuration is found using:
where: ReL = Laminar/Transitional Reynolds Number
(3470-1370n).
