What will be the nature of flow of water from a circular tap, when its flow rate increased from \(0.18\, L / min\) to \(0.48\, L / min\) ? The radius of the tap and viscosity of water are \(0.5\, cm\) and \(10^{-3}\, Pa s\), respectively. (Density of water : \(10^{3}\, kg / m ^{3}\) )

  1. A Unsteady to steady flow
  2. B Remains steady flow
  3. C Remains turbulent flow
  4. D Steady flow to unsteady flow
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Steady flow to unsteady flow

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The nature of flow is determined by Reynolds Number. \(R _{ e }=\frac{\rho vD }{\eta}\) \([\rho \rightarrow\) density of fluid ; \(\eta \rightarrow\) coefficient of ; \(v \rightarrow\) velocity of flow ; \(D \rightarrow\) Diameter of pipe\(]\) From NCERT If…
