What are the limitations of the concept of turbulence in fluid dynamics?

  • A
    It is highly predictable.
  • B
    It is independent of the Reynolds number.
  • C
    It is extremely complex and lacks a complete analytical theory.
  • D
    It only occurs in laminar flow.

Two capillary tubes of the same radius but lengths $l_1$ and $l_2$ are connected in parallel at the bottom of a vessel. What should be the length of a single capillary tube of the same radius that replaces both,such that the flow rate remains the same?

Two capillary tubes of the same length but different radii $r_1$ and $r_2$ are fitted in parallel to the bottom of a vessel. The pressure head is $P$. What should be the radius of a single tube that can replace the two tubes so that the rate of flow is the same as before?

$A$ 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 $m/s$)

Under a constant pressure head,the rate of flow of liquid through a capillary tube is $V$. If the length of the capillary is doubled and the diameter of the bore is halved,the rate of flow would become
