Reynolds Metals

Mercury of density 13600 kg/m3 flows through a pipe of 0.2 m diameter at a rate of 0.1 m3/s, in a liquid metal?

If the dynamic viscosity of the mercury is 1.526 x 10-3 Pascal seconds determine the Reynolds number and whether the flow is laminar or turbulent. What is the mass flow rate?.

1. The websites below show you how to do it. (For a round pipe, "hydraulic diameter" is the circle diameter.)
