Discuss lack of Re-independence #26

From @bgunawan:

This figure shows that we haven't achieved Re independence (close though). I am sure many others will notice this. Need to state why we couldn't go over Re = 1.3E6. I presume due to technical limitation.

dCP/dRe seems to increase again for the two points: second and third highest Cp - any suggestion for the cause of this? On a second thought, I think it's more appropriate to plot Re Vs. max Cp here ( don't fix TSR to 3.1, but pick a value which gives max Cp

I disagree, since this adds two independent variables, in a way. The slight increases in slope are most likely within the experimental uncertainty.
