Transition from laminar flow to turbulent flow in fluid flow through a pipe does not depend upon the___________________?
Correct answer: A. Length of the pipe
- A. Length of the pipe
- B. Diameter of the pipe
- C. Density of the fluid
- D. Velocity of the fluid
Explanation
The laminar-to-turbulent transition is governed by Reynolds number, which contains density, velocity, diameter and viscosity, but not pipe length. Therefore, changing the pipe length does not directly change the transition criterion.
