The Reynolds number of a flow in a circular pipe is defined as,

where V is the fluid velocity, D is the pipe diameter, and ρ and μ are the fluid’s density and dynamic viscosity, respectively. Consider a 15% calcium chloride solution (by mass) flowing in a 1.61-inch diameter pipe. The calcium chloride solution is at a temperature of 30°F and flows with a velocity of 2.7 ft/s. Using the property data from Appendix B.4, determine the Reynolds number associated with this flow.
