Consider we have a Double Pipe Heat Exchanger, with the inner tube of diameter 20mm (neglect thickness) and outer tube of diameter 30mm. We have two fluids A & B (both with viscosity 2.5×10-5Pa-s), we desire to have their flow rates as 15 Kg/s and 21 Kg/s respectively. What is the Reynolds number for this setup for the inner pipe?

Correct Answer 12000

We have Re = GD/μ hence Re = 15×20×103/(2.5×10-5) = 12000.
