Which one of the following statements is correct about Reynolds Number (NRe) in a stirred tank bioreactor?
Updated On: Jul 18, 2024
- NRe is independent of the viscosity of the medium
- In laminar flow, mixing time increases with an increase in NRe
- NRe is inversely proportional to the impeller speed
- In turbulent flow, mixing time is independent of NRe

Top Questions on Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids
- In a laminar, incompressible, fully-developed pipe flow of a Newtonian fluid, as shown in the figure, the velocity profile over a cross-section is given by \( u = U \left( 1 - \frac{r^2}{R^2} \right) \), where \( U \) is a constant. The pipe length is \( L \) and the fluid viscosity is \( \mu \). The power \( P \) required to sustain the flow is expressed as \( P = c \mu L U^2 \), where \( c \) is a dimensionless constant. The value of the constant \( c \) (up to one decimal place) is \(\underline{\hspace{1cm}}\). \includegraphics[width=0.5\linewidth]{imager13.png}
