It requires us to find the Reynolds’s number with the given formula, but the formula requires a fluid velocity (v). I’m not sure how to find this value. Is it the q max?

AreteQin commented 1 year ago

Hi

You can calculate the velocity using: $$v = q/A$$

where A is the cross-sectional area of the capillary $$A= \pi (\frac{D}{2})^2$$

where D is the diameter of the capillary.

Thank you, the number makes much more sense now.
