Calculate Reynolds number for cold and hot water flow in your kitchen sink. 1) Measure the approximate diameter (outlet) of kitchen sink faucet. 2) Measure the time to fill the 1-liter bottle with cold water (maximum flow). 3) Calculate the flow rate in liter per second and then convert it in m/s. 4) Divide the flow rate with area of faucet outlet to get velocity V=Q/A. 5) Try to measure the temperature of water with thermometer. If you don't have thermometer then assume cold water is at 15 C and hot water is at 65C. Use viscosity and density of water accordingly. 6) Calculate Reynolds number by using following equation. pVD Re= = 7) Repeat the procedure for HOT water flow.
