Abstract
The Reynolds number is interpreted as the ratio of phase volumes for the ma croscopic and microscopic motions of molecules. Effect of the second virial coefficient on the critical Reynolds number was predicted and experimental ly verified. The measurements were performed in a Hagen-Poiseuille flow of several gases (He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, N-2 , CO2 , and SF6). (C) 2000 MAIK "Nau ka / Interperiodica".
