A 5 cm diameter wooden spoon is used to stir chicken consomm in a saucepan using regular circular motion at a speed of 1.5 revolutions per second. At the temperature used to warm the broth, the liquid density is 970 kg/m3 and the viscosity is 0.45 cp. In this unbaffled system, turbulent flow occurs at impeller Reynolds numbers above about 10^5 . Is flow in the saucepan likely to be turbulent?
