Calculate the Reynolds number for water at 80°F flowing through a tube 2 in. in diameter, if the average water velocity and specific weight are 10 ft/s and 62.4 lb/ft^3 respectively. Use a value of the viscosity as 0.0648 slug/ft-hr.

Step 1
First, we need to find the density of water. We can use the formula: Density = Specific Weight / Acceleration due to gravity where the specific weight is given as 62.4 lb/ft³ and the acceleration due to gravity is approximately 32.2 ft/s². Density = 62.4 lb/ft³ Show more…
