Reynolds Number dynamic viscosity

The simplest case of fluid modeling is the technique known as computational fluid dynamics. These calculations model the fluid as a continuum that has various properties of viscosity, Reynolds number, and so on. The flow of that fluid is then modeled by using numerical techniques, such as a finite element calculation, to determine the properties of the system as predicted by the Navier-Stokes equation. These techniques are generally the realm of the engineering community and will not be discussed further here. 

The Reynolds number for flow in a tube is defined by dvpirj, where d is the diameter of the tube, V is the average velocity of the fluid along the tube, p is the density of the fluid, and rj is its dynamic viscosity. At flow velocities corresponding with values of the Reynolds number of greater than 2000, turbulence is encountered.

In fluid dynamics the behavior in this system is described by the full set of hydrodynamic equations. This behavior can be characterized by the Reynolds number. Re, which is the ratio of characteristic flow scales to viscosity scales. We recall that the Reynolds number is a measure of the dominating terms in the Navier-Stokes equation and, if the Reynolds number is small, linear terms will dominate if it is large, nonlinear terms will dominate. In this system, the nonlinear term, (u V)u, serves to convert linear momentum into angular momentum. This phenomena is evidenced by the appearance of two counter-rotating vortices or eddies immediately behind the obstacle. Experiments and numerical integration of the Navier-Stokes equations predict the formation of these vortices at the length scale of the obstacle. Further, they predict that the distance between the vortex center and the obstacle is proportional to the Reynolds number. All these have been observed in our 2-dimensional flow system obstructed by a thermal plate at microscopic scales. ... 

The viscosity (dynamic, 17, or kinematic, v) and density, p (Eq. 47), influence the dissolution rate if the dissolution is transport-controlled, but not if the dissolution is reaction-controlled. In transport-controlled dissolution, increasing 17 or v will decrease D (Eq. 53), will increase h (Eqs. 46 and 49) and will reduce J (Eqs. 51 and 52). These effects are complex. For example, if an additional solute (such as a macromolecule) is added to the dissolution medium to increase 17, it may also change p and D. The ratio of 17/p = v (Eq. 47) and D directly influence h and J in the rotating disc technique, while v directly influences the Reynolds number (and hence J) for transport-controlled dissolution in general [104]. 

In equation 1.3, p is the density, p. the dynamic viscosity, and the mean velocity of the fluid d, is the inside diameter of the tube. Any consistent system of units can be used in this equation. The Reynolds number is also frequently written in the form... 

Sh, Re, and Sc are the dimensionless Sherwood, Reynolds, and Schmidt numbers, dp is the relevant length scale, which here is the diameter of the particle c = 4.7 for fixed beds and laminar flows. As usual, D is diffusion coefficient and v the dynamic viscosity (both [length time-2]). 

From values of / and c, the diffusion coefficient (D) and dynamic viscosity (q) can be calculated (Examples 1.16-1.19). Estimation of the Knudsen (H d) and Reynold s numbers defines the nature of gas flow (viscous, molecular, intermediate) in vacuum systems (Examples 1.20-1.22). 

Re = wsdpPg/T g is the Reynolds number in which dp refers to particle diameter, us superficial velocity, pg gas density and r g dynamic viscosity. The exponential term accounts for the enhancement effect due to the catalytic bed. in the Nusselt number the characteristic length is the tube diameter, such that Nu = awdt/7tg. For hydrogen-rich mixtures the thermal conductivity is remarkably high.

Reducing the bed length while keeping the space velocity the same will reduce the fluid velocity proportionally. This will affect the fluid dynamics and its related aspects such as pressure drop, hold-ups in case of multiphase flow, interphase mass and heat transfer and dispersion. Table II shows the large variation in fluid velocity and Reynolds number in reactors of different size. The dimensionless Reynolds number (Re = u dp p /rj, where u is the superficial fluid velocity, dp the particle diameter, p the fluid density and t] the dynamic viscosity) generally characterizes the hydrodynamic situation.

The Reynolds number Re is a dimensionless group wliich characterizes the intensity of a flow. For large Re, a flow is turbulent for small Re, it is laminar. For pipe flow. Re = upD/fJb, where D is pipe diameter and ju. is dynamic viscosity. 

One of the main concerns is that using the torque value that the imit is reporting instead of the dynamic viscosity for calculation of Reynolds numbers renders the latter to become dimensional. Therefore, the Reynolds number calculated from torque rheometer data is referred to as pseudo-Reynolds dimensional number. Because of the fact that torque was shown to be proportional to a kinematic (rather than dynamic)... 

Another concern is the interpretation of data from mixer torque rheometer that was used to assess the viscosity of wet granulation. The torque values obtained from the rheometer were labeled wet mass consistency and were used instead of dynamic viscosity to calculate Reynolds numbers. It was shown that such torque values are proportional to kinematic... 

A cross-check for the actual Reynolds number at these values and with a dynamic viscosity of the suspension in question, under the effect of high shear forces, of/V = 1000 CP, provides us in regard to (2) with Re = 147.
