Equivalent Diameter using Reynolds Number Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Equivalent Diameter = (Reynolds Number*Dynamic Viscosity)/Density*Velocity
De = (Re*μ)/ρ*v
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Equivalent Diameter - (Measured in Meter) - Equivalent diameter is the diameter equivalent to the given value.
Reynolds Number - Reynolds number is the ratio of inertial forces to viscous forces within a fluid which is subjected to relative internal movement due to different fluid velocities.
Dynamic Viscosity - (Measured in Pascal Second) - Dynamic viscosity of a fluid is the measure of its resistance to flow when an external force is applied.
Density - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Density of a material shows the denseness of that material in a specific given area. This is taken as mass per unit volume of a given object.
Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Velocity is a vector quantity (it has both magnitude and direction) and is the rate of change of the position of an object with respect to time.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Reynolds Number: 5000 --> No Conversion Required
Dynamic Viscosity: 0.6 Poise --> 0.06 Pascal Second (Check conversion here)
Density: 997 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> 997 Kilogram per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Velocity: 60 Meter per Second --> 60 Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

De = (Re*μ)/ρ*v --> (5000*0.06)/997*60

Evaluating ... ...

De = 18.0541624874624

What is Dynamic Viscosity ?

The dynamic viscosity η (η = "eta") is a measure of the viscosity of a fluid . The higher the viscosity, the thicker (less liquid) the fluid; the lower the viscosity, the thinner (more liquid) it is. SI unit of dynamic viscosity: [η] = Pascal-second
