D
Diameter of orifice
High-Yield Explanation
Ans. (c) Pressure of gas(Ref: Ganong, 25th ed/p.629)Whether the air flow is laminar or turbulent is determined by Reynolds numberReynolds number =rDV/eWhere,r-Density of the gasD-Diameter of the airwaysV -Velocity of gase -Viscosity of gasPressure of gas is not in the formula for Reynolds number
