Important Questions on Mechanical Properties of Fluids

EASY
Identify the incorrect statement regarding Reynold's number Re:
HARD
Water from a pipe is coming at a rate of 100 liters per minute. If the radius of the pipe is 5 cm, the Reynolds number for the flow is of the order of: (density of water = 100 kg/m3, coefficient of viscosity of water =1 mPa s)
EASY
Under a constant pressure head, the rate of flow of orderly volume 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
EASY
If p is the density and η is coefficient of viscosity of fluid which flows with a speed v in the pipe of diameter d, the correct formula for Reynolds number Re is
MEDIUM
If it takes 5 minutes to fill a 15 litre bucket from a water tap of diameter 2π cm then the Reynolds number for the flow is (density of water = 103  kg/m3 and viscosity of water=10-3 Pa.s ) close to:
HARD

On the opposite sides of a wide vertical vessel filled with water, two identical holes are opened, each having the cross-sectional area S=0.50 cm2. The height difference between them is equal to Δh=51 cm. Find the resultant force of reaction of the water flowing out of the vessel.

Gravitational acceleration, g=9.8 m s-2 and Density of water =1000 Kg m-3

HARD
Two capillaries of same length and radii in the ratio 1:2 are connected in series. A liquid flows through them in streamlined condition. If the pressure across the two extreme ends of the combination is 1 m of water, then pressure difference across first capillary is
MEDIUM
Two capillary tubes of the same length but different radii r1 and r2 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?
MEDIUM

In deriving Bernoulli’s equation, we equated the work done on the fluid in the tube to its change in the potential and kinetic energy. What is the largest average velocity of blood flow in an artery of diameter 2 × 10-3 m if the flow must remain laminar? (Viscosity of blood, η = 2.084 × 103 Pa s, Density of blood, ρ = 1.06 × 103 kg/m3)
