In case of streamed lined flow of liquid the loss of energy is:

Correct answer: B. Minimum

  • A. Maximum
  • B. Minimum
  • C. Infinite
  • D. Equal to what is in turbulent flow.

Explanation

In the case of streamlined (laminar) flow of liquid, the loss of energy is typically at a minimum. This is because streamlined flow is characterized by smooth and orderly movement of fluid particles in parallel layers, resulting in lower frictional losses compared to turbulent flow.

About Fluid Dynamics

Fluid flow is described through speed, pressure and density, including steady flow and the equation of continuity for conserving mass. Bernoulli's equation relates pressure, speed and height, while fluid drag and terminal velocity explain why a falling object eventually moves at constant speed when drag balances its weight.
