A flow of liquid is streamline if the Reynold number is

  1. A less than \( 1000 \)
  2. B greater than \( 1000 \)
  3. C between \( 2000 \) to \( 3000 \)
  4. D between \( 4000 \) to \( 5000 \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) less than \( 1000 \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The Reynolds number is the ratio of inertial forces to viscous forces. It predicts weather the flow will laminar or turbulent.
A flow of liquid is streamline if the Reynolds number should be less than 2000. Therefore, from the given options, only
option (1) satisfies the condition. Thus, a flow of liquid is streamline if the Reynolds number is less than \( 1000 \).
