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

  • A
    Unsteady to steady flow
  • B
    Remains steady flow
  • C
    Remains turbulent flow
  • D

Two different liquids are flowing in two tubes of equal radius. The ratio of coefficients of viscosity of liquids is $52:49$ and the ratio of their densities is $13:1$,then the ratio of their critical velocities will be

When a liquid of density $\rho$ flows through a tube of diameter $d$ with critical velocity $V$,then the Reynolds number is (where $\eta$ is the coefficient of viscosity of the liquid).

$A$ glass tube of uniform cross-section is connected to a tap with a rubber tube. The tap is opened slowly. Initially, the flow of water in the tube is streamline. The speed of flow of water to convert it into a turbulent flow is (radius of tube $= 1 \,cm$, $\eta = 1 \times 10^{-3} \,Ns/m^2$, $R_{n} = 2500$, and density of water $\rho = 10^3 \,kg/m^3$) (in $m/s$)

What is the value of the Reynolds number $(R_e)$ for unsteady flow?

If it takes $5\,minutes$ to fill a $15\,litre$ bucket from a water tap of diameter $\frac{2}{\sqrt{\pi}}\,cm$,then the Reynolds number for the flow is (density of water $= 10^3\,kg/m^3$ and viscosity of water $= 10^{-3}\,Pa\cdot s$) close to
