Question 166 of 192
Consider following statements:
A. Surface tension arises due to extra energy of the molecules at the interior as compared to the molecules at the surface, of a liquid.
B. As the temperature of liquid rises, the coefficient of viscosity increases.
C. As the temperature of gas increases, the coefficient of viscosity increases
D. The onset of turbulence is determined by Reynold's number.
E. In a steady flow two stream lines never intersect.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Show answer and solution
Answer: (A) C, D, E Only
Surface tension arises due to extra energy of the molecules at the molecules at the surface as compared at the interior of a liquid. The coefficient of viscosity for a liquid decreases with rise in temperature where as it increases for gases with increase in temperature. The flow is turbulent for a Reynold's number greater than 2000. Stream lines never intersect in a steady flow.
