Reynolds Number for Non-Circular Tubes Formula Elements

Variables
Reynolds Number
Reynolds number is the ratio of inertial forces to viscous forces within a fluid which is subjected to relative internal movement due to different fluid velocities.
Symbol: Re
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Density
Density of a material shows the denseness of that material in a specific given area. This is taken as mass per unit volume of a given object.
Symbol: ρ
Measurement: DensityUnit: kg/m³
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Fluid Velocity
Fluid velocity is the volume of fluid flowing in the given vessel per unit cross sectional area.
Symbol: uFluid
Measurement: SpeedUnit: m/s
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Characteristic Length
A characteristic length is usually the volume of a system divided by its surface.
Symbol: Lc
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Dynamic Viscosity
Dynamic Viscosity of a fluid is the measure of its resistance to flow when an external force is applied.
Symbol: μviscosity
Measurement: Dynamic ViscosityUnit: Pa*s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
