The transition between laminar

and turbulent flow occurs not

at a specific value of the

Reynolds number but in a

range usually beginning

between 1,000 to 2,000 and

extending upward to between

3,000 and 5,000.

Reynold's number is independent of the fluid that flows. Its expression is given as

N = rho V D / eta, rho is the density of the fluid, V the speed of the molecules, D the diameter of the tube through which the fluid flows. Eta is coefficient of viscosity of the fluid. If N is less than 2000 then the flow will be streamline or laminar. If N exceeds the value 3000 then the flow becomes turbulent. If N is in between 2000 and 3000 then the flow will be switching over in between laminar or turbulent now and then.

So even in the case air, the same is to be followed.

How can we relates the Reynolds Number with the phenomena of turbulence and laminar?

Turbulent flow occurs above a certain Reynold's number; laminar flow occurs below a certain Reynold's number. The exact value of the Reynold's number required for flow to become turbulent varies, depending on the specific situation.

How do you find minimum and maximum value of calculus?

In Calculus, to find the maximum and minimum value, you first take the derivative of the function then find the zeroes or the roots of it. Once you have the roots, you can just simply plug in the x value to the original function where y is the maximum or minimum value. To know if its a maximum or minimum value, simply do your number line to check. the x and y are now your max/min points/ coordinates.
