The Reynolds number (Re) determines the flow inside a tube is laminar (Re < 500) or turbulent (>2000). Re is a function of multiple factors such as gas type, flow, temperature, and reactor size; i.e., Re = (density)(velocity)(pipe diameter)/ (viscosity). The Reynolds number was calculated on the basis of the method in http://flow.netfirms.com/reynolds/. The viscosity of gas was calculated according to a calculator in http://www.lmnoeng.com/Flow/GasViscosity.htm. For the flow rates ranging from 60 to 300 seem, the Reynolds number was calculated to be between 6 and 30, showing a laminar flow inside the CVD tube reactor with a tube diameter of 2.2 mm (i.d.) and a temperature of 850°C.
