Dean number

Input(s)

\(\rho\): Density of the Fluid \(\left(\mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}\right)\)

\(\mu\): Dynamic Viscosity \((\mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{ms})\)

V: Axial Velocity Scale \((\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s})\)

\(\mathrm{d}\): Diameter \((\mathrm{m})\)

\(\boldsymbol{R}_{\boldsymbol{c}}\): Radius of Curvature of the Path of Channel (m)

Output(s)

De: Dean Number (dimensionless)

Formula(s)

\[ D e=\frac{\rho * V * d}{\mu} *\left(\sqrt[2]{\left(\frac{d}{2 * R_{c}}\right)}\right) \]
