What will be the nature of flow of water from a circular tap, when its flow rate increased from 0 . 18 L min - 1 to 0 . 48 L min - 1 ? The radius of the tap and viscosity of water are 0 . 5 cm and 10 - 3 Pa s , respectively. (Density of water : 10 3 kg m - 3 )

Step-by-step solution

The nature of flow is determined by Reynolds Number. R e = ρ v D η ρ →   density   of   fluid   ;    η →   coefficient   of   velocity v →   velocity   of   flow   D →   Diameterofpipe   From NCERT If R e < 1000   → flow is steady 1000 < R p < 2000 → flow becomes unsteady R e > 2000 → flow is turbulent R einitial   = 10 3 × 0 . 18 × 10 - 3 &#960
