The Reynolds Number and the Reynolds Apparatus

MEC516/BME516 Fluid Mechanics: Osbourne Reynolds' famous experiment to characterize laminar to turbulent flow transition in a pipe is discussed. The Reynolds Apparatus is used to visualize laminar and turbulent flow in a round smooth pipe. The effect of the flow regime on pressure loss and pumping power is also discussed. This video is a supplement to MEC516/BME516 Lab 2.

Sir I admire your knowledgeableness ...💛👍🙋⬆️ ... You are teaching this toughh book with so ease ... I admire your command about this subject ... respect ❤️😊

[@kwasongggg]

i'm going to need this information for a design experiment in fluid mechanics, huge help thank you!

[@FluidMatters]

Glad to hear the video is helpful.

[@user-xn9wm8mi8h]

Hi David, do you have any content on two-phase flow? Or multiphase flow in general? LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!!!!!!!!!

[@FluidMatters]

Sorry. No multiphase flow lectures.
