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

    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

    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.
