Properties Of Solids And Liquids Question 207

Question: In which one of the following cases will the liquid flow in a pipe be most streamlined[Pb. CET 2005]

Options:

A)Liquid of high viscosity and high density flowing through a pipe of small radius

B)Liquid of high viscosity and low density flowing through a pipe of small radius

C)Liquid of low viscosity and low density flowing through a pipe of large radius

D)Liquid of low viscosity and high density flowing through a pipe of large radius

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

For streamline flow, Reynold’s number $ N _{R}\propto \frac{r\rho }{\eta } $ should be less.

For less value of $ N _{R} $ , radius and density should be small and viscosity should be high.
