Question:

In a food industry process, carbon tetrachloride at \(20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) flows through a tapered nozzle from an inlet diameter \(D_{\text {in }}=50 \mathrm{~mm}\) to an outlet diameter of \(D_{\text {out }}\). The area varies linearly with distance along the nozzle, and the exit area is one-fifth of the inlet area; the nozzle length is \(250 \mathrm{~mm}\). The flow rate is \(Q=2 \mathrm{~L} / \mathrm{min}\). It is important for the process that the flow exits the nozzle as a turbulent flow. Does it? If so, at what point along the nozzle does the flow become turbulent?
