$A$ fluid of density $\rho$ and viscosity $\eta$ is flowing through a pipe of diameter $d$, with a velocity $v$. The Reynolds number is:

  • A
    $\frac{\rho v d}{\eta}$
  • B
    $\frac{d \rho v}{\eta}$
  • C
    $\frac{d \rho v}{\eta^2}$
  • D
    $\frac{2 \eta dv}{\rho}$

Water is conveyed through a uniform tube of $8 \text{ cm}$ in diameter and $3140 \text{ m}$ in length at the rate of $2 \times 10^{-3} \text{ m}^3/\text{s}$. The pressure required to maintain the flow is (Viscosity of water $= 10^{-3} \text{ SI units}$):

Under a pressure head,the rate of orderly volume flow of a liquid through a capillary tube is $Q$. If the length of the capillary tube is doubled and the diameter of the tube is halved,the rate of flow would become:

Water from a pipe is coming at a rate of $100\, L/min$. 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 $= 1\, mPa\, s$)

Two capillary tubes of same radius $r$ but of lengths $l_1$ and $l_2$ are fitted in parallel to the bottom of a vessel. The pressure head is $P$. What should be the length of a single tube of the same radius $r$ that can replace the two tubes so that the rate of flow is same as before?
