The correct answer is option 1) i.e. ρVD/μ.

CONCEPT:

  • Streamline flow: In fluids the flow in which the fluids flow in parallel layers such that there is no intermixing of the layers and also, the velocity of each fluid particle at a given point passing by remains constant with time is known as Streamline Flow.
  • Reynold's number: The ratio of fluid's inertial force and its viscous force is called Reynolds number. 
  • Mathematically Reynolds number is given by:

\(\Rightarrow R = \frac{\rho v D}{\mu}\)

where R is Reynolds number, ρ is the fluid density,v is the velocity, D is the diameter of the pipe, μ is the viscosity of the fluid.

EXPLANATION:

  • Mathematically Reynolds number is given by:
\(\Rightarrow R = \frac{\rho v D}{\mu}\)
