The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the value of the Reynolds number for turbulent flow, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Concept of Reynolds Number**: The Reynolds number (Re) is a dimensionless quantity used to predict flow patterns in different fluid flow situations. It is defined as: \[ Re = \frac{\rho V D}{\mu} \] where: - \(\rho\) = density of the fluid - \(V\) = velocity of the fluid - \(D\) = characteristic length (diameter of the pipe) - \(\mu\) = dynamic viscosity of the fluid 2. **Identify Flow Types Based on Reynolds Number**: - For laminar flow, the Reynolds number is typically between 0 and 2000. - For turbulent flow, the Reynolds number is generally greater than 2000. 3. **Determine the Threshold for Turbulent Flow**: Since the question specifically asks for the value of the Reynolds number that indicates turbulent flow, we refer to the established threshold. 4. **Conclude the Value for Turbulent Flow**: Based on the information, we conclude that for turbulent flow, the Reynolds number must be greater than 2000. 5. **Select the Correct Answer**: Therefore, the correct answer to the question is that for turbulent flow, the value of the Reynolds number is greater than 2000. ### Final Answer: The value of Reynolds number for turbulent flow is greater than 2000. ---
