STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Knudsen Number = Mean Free Path of Molecule/Characteristic Length of Flow
Kn = λ/L
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Knudsen Number - Knudsen number is a non-dimensional number used to describe the degree of departure from continuum.
Mean Free Path of Molecule - (Measured in Meter) - The Mean Free Path of Molecule is the average distance an object will move between collisions.
Characteristic Length of Flow - (Measured in Meter) - The characteristic length of flow is a dimension like diameter is related as characteristic length.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Mean Free Path of Molecule: 0.0002 Meter --> 0.0002 Meter No Conversion Required
Characteristic Length of Flow: 110 Millimeter --> 0.11 Meter (Check conversion here)
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
Kn = λ/L --> 0.0002/0.11
Evaluating ... ...
Kn = 0.00181818181818182

14 Fluid Mechanics Basics Calculators

Equation of Continuity for Compressible Fluids
Go Velocity of the fluid at 1 = (Cross-Sectional Area at Point 2*Velocity of the fluid at 2*Density 2)/(Cross-Sectional Area at Point 1*Density 1)
Equation of Continuity for Incompressible Fluids
Go Velocity of the fluid at 1 = (Cross-Sectional Area at Point 2*Velocity of the fluid at 2)/Cross-Sectional Area at Point 1
Cavitation Number
Go Cavitation number = (Pressure-Vapour Pressure)/(Mass Density*(Fluid Velocity^2)/2)
Turbulence
Go Turbulence = Density 2*Dynamic Viscosity*Fluid Velocity
