Water from a pipe is coming at a rate of \(100\, litres\) per minute. If the radius of the pipe is \(5\, cm\), the Reynolds number for the flow is of the order of : (density of water \(= 1000\, kg/m^3\), coefficient of viscosity of water \(= 1\, mPa\, s\))

  1. A \(10^3\)
  2. B \(10^6\)
  3. C \(10^2\)
  4. D \(10^4\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(10^4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Reynolds number\( = \frac{{\rho vd}}{\eta }\) Volume flow rate\( = v \times \pi {r^2}\) \(v = \frac{{100 \times {{10}^{ - 3}}}}{{60}} \times \frac{1}{{\pi \times 25 \times {{10}^{ - 4}}}}\) \(v = \frac{2}{{3\pi }}m/s\) Reynolds number…
