Q:They give me an equation for the reynolds number Re=U*L*rho/mu
U=flow velocity L= length rho=fluid density mu= fluid viscosity
These examples only have some of these values and I think I need to figure out the rest in order to get the reynolds number.
A. The Mississippi River, flowing with an average depth of 6 ft and an average velocity of 3 ft/s; find the reynolds number.
B. Flow around the shrimp, who is swimming in sea water: U=0.01 m/s They also have a picture of a shrimp with an arrow in front of it pointing to the right. The shrimp is 1 cm high. The fluid: sea water. Find the reynolds number.
