Cooling a tunnel's nitrogen from \( 300 \) K to \( 110 \) K raises the density by a factor of about \( 2.7 \) and lowers the viscosity by a factor of about \( 2.2 \). The Reynolds number rises by roughly

  • A.2.2 times
  • B.0.5 times
  • C.6 times
  • D.2.7 times

Answer: C

Reynolds number goes as density over viscosity at a fixed speed and size, so the two effects multiply: \( 2.7 \times 2.2 = 5.9 \), close to six. This is the whole case for cryogenic testing, and it is achieved without touching the Mach number.
