Calculate the critical volume flow rate at which turbulence


Blood flow in the body proceeds in pulses, so it might happen that turbulence will occur only during the high-speed phase of ech pulse. Assume the diameter of the aorita is 2.7 cm. Take 1050 kg/m^3 as the density of blood and 2.084 x 10^-3 Pa.s as its viscosity.

Calculate the critical volume flow rate at which turbulence is a certainty in the aorta, asuuming a Reynolds number of 3000 is guaranteed to correspond to a turbulent flow.
