Re
Re – Reynolds Number (Transition: Re ~ 2300)
v - Velocity
p- Density
d- Pipe Diameter
u- Dynamic Viscosity (Poise) 1cp = 0.01 Poise (SI Units)
[q * (0.00000184)]
V =

TT *
q- Flow rate (STB per Day)
v- Fluid velocity within pipe
d- Pipe diameter
Reynolds number is used to determine the characteristics of
fluid flow in a pipe. Re < 2300 the flow is laminar and for Re >
2300 the flow is turbulent.
West Texas Intermediate Crude Specific Gravity: 0.8212
