$A$ fluid of density $\rho$ is flowing through a uniform tube of diameter $d$. The coefficient of viscosity of the fluid is $\eta$. The critical velocity of the fluid is:

  • A
    inversely proportional to $\eta$
  • B
    directly proportional to $\eta$
  • C
    directly proportional to $d$
  • D
    directly proportional to $\rho$

Two tubes of radii $r_1$ and $r_2$,and lengths $l_1$ and $l_2$,respectively,are connected in series and a liquid flows through each of them in streamline conditions. $P_1$ and $P_2$ are pressure differences across the two tubes. If $P_2 = 4P_1$ and $l_2 = \frac{l_1}{4}$,then the radius $r_2$ will be equal to:

The rate of flow of liquid in a tube of radius $r$ and length $l$,whose ends are maintained at a pressure difference $P$,is given by $V = \frac{\pi Q P r^4}{\eta l}$,where $\eta$ is the coefficient of viscosity. What is the value of $Q$?

$A$ 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 $m/s$)

In the case of a liquid, if the Reynolds number '$R_n$' is $1450$, then the flow of the liquid will
