When using Bernoulli's equation and calculating Reynold's number which one do we use?
Bulk velocity and center line velocity
Click For Summary
SUMMARY
When applying Bernoulli's equation and calculating Reynolds number, the bulk velocity is the appropriate choice for inviscid flow scenarios. This approach is crucial, especially when a low Reynolds number indicates laminar flow, as highlighted by the Poiseuille flow considerations. Users must exercise caution in interpreting results when low Reynolds numbers are encountered.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of Bernoulli's equation
- Knowledge of Reynolds number calculations
