Reynolds Number in Duct 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.
Diameter of Circular Duct
Diameter of Circular Duct is a straight line passing from side to side through the center of a body or figure, especially a circle or sphere.
Symbol: d
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Mean Velocity of Air
Mean Velocity of Air is defined as the time average of the velocity of a fluid at a fixed point, over a somewhat arbitrary time interval T counted from some fixed time t0.
Symbol: Vm
Measurement: SpeedUnit: m/s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Kinematic Viscosity
Kinematic Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's internal resistance to flow under gravitational forces.
Symbol: υ
Measurement: Kinematic ViscosityUnit: m²/s
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
