Formula 4.77

Reynolds number for acid flow into the fracture (acidizing)

Input(s)

$\rho$: Acid Density $\left(\mathrm{lb} / \mathrm{ft}^{3}\right)$

$i$ : Injection Rate $\left(\mathrm{ft}^{3} / \mathrm{min}\right)$

$\mu$: Viscosity of the Reacted Acid (lb/ft min)

$h_{g}$: Formation Thickness (ft)

Output(s)

$N_{R e}$: Reynolds Number (dimensionless)

Formula(s)

$$ N_{R e}=\frac{\rho i}{\mu h_{g}} $$
