The onset of turbulence in a gas flowing within a circular tube occurs at Re D,c
Question:
The onset of turbulence in a gas flowing within a circular tube occurs at ReD,c ≈ 2300, while a transition from incompressible to compressible flow occurs at a critical Mach number of Mac ≈ 0.3. Determine the critical tube diameter Dc, below which incompressible turbulent flow and heat transfer cannot exist for
(i) Air,
(ii) CO2,
(iii) He. Evaluate properties at atmospheric pressure and a temperature of T = 300 K.
