If in the "flow through spherical bed" experiment the average velocity in the pipe (Darcy velocity) is measured to be 2.4 m/s, what is the Reynolds number for the porous medium based on the square root of permeability, i.e. K0.5 ? Notice the permeability is defined as: K equals fraction numerator d squared epsilon cubed over denominator 150 left parenthesis 1 minus epsilon right parenthesis squared end fraction Assume a density and dynamic viscosity of 1.125 kg/m3 and 7.983x10-5 Pa*s for the air. The packed spherical bed has a porosity of 0.62 with 13 mm diameter marbles
