If the Reynolds number is 2,078, what does this suggest?

  1. Plug flow

  2. Laminar flow

  3. Disturbed flow

  4. Turbulent flow

The correct answer is: Plug flow

This answer is correct because a Reynolds number of 2,078 suggests that the flow is smooth and free of turbulence, meaning that it is in the laminar flow regime. This is because as the Reynolds number increases, fluid flow transitions from laminar to turbulent. Therefore, options B, C, and D are incorrect because they suggest turbulent or disturbed flow, which would have a higher Reynolds number.
