Problem #2: Air at 20°C flows over a flat plate at 2.65 m/s. The characteristic length is 1.50 m and the kinematic viscosity is 1.5×$10^{-5}$ m²/s. What is the Reynolds number?

Step 1
Step 1: The Reynolds number is defined as: $$Re = \frac{VL}{\nu}$$ where V is the flow speed, L is the characteristic length, and $\nu$ is the kinematic viscosity. Show more…
