Identify the incorrect statement regarding Reynold's number R e :
Options
- Afor R e < 1000 , flow is laminar
- Bfor 1000 < R e < 2000 , flow is steady
- Cfor R e > 2000 , flow is turbulent
- DR e is a dimensionless number
Correct answer
B. for 1000 < R e < 2000 , flow is steady
Step-by-step solution
The Reynolds number is the ratio of inertial forces to viscous forces within a fluid which is subjected to relative internal movement due to different fluid velocities. A region where these forces change behaviour is known as a boundary layer, such as the bounding surface in the interior of a pipe.
