I.high linear gas velocity
II.high gas density
III.low gas viscosity
IV.large tube diameter

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Reynolds number is a dimensionless quantity used to predict flow patterns in different fluid flow situations. It is influenced by factors such as fluid velocity, fluid density, fluid viscosity, and the characteristic length (such as tube diameter). High linear gas velocity (I), high gas density (II), low gas viscosity (III), and large tube diameter (IV) all contribute to increasing the Reynolds number, which tends to make the flow turbulent.
