Identify the incorrect statement regarding Reynold's number Re:

  1. A for Re<1000, flow is laminar
  2. B for 1000<Re<2000, flow is steady
  3. C for Re>2000, flow is turbulent
  4. D Re is a dimensionless number
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) for 1000<Re<2000, flow is steady

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The Reynolds number is the ratio of inertial forces to viscous forces within a fluid which is subjected to relative internal movement due to different fluid velocities. A region where these forces change behaviour is known as a boundary layer, such as the bounding surface in the…
