Laminar flow region is said to exist during agitation of a liquid in an agitator, when the value of Reynolds number is________________?

Correct answer: B. < 10

  • A. > 10
  • B. < 10
  • C. > 100
  • D. < 100

Explanation

For stirred tanks, the laminar agitation regime is conventionally taken as Reynolds number below about 10. Above this range, transitional or turbulent effects increasingly influence the flow and power requirement.
