The correct Answer is:
To determine which statement about the Reynolds number \( R_e \) is incorrect, we need to understand the definitions and characteristics of flow types associated with different ranges of \( R_e \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Reynolds Number**: - The Reynolds number \( R_e \) is defined as: \[ R_e = \frac{\rho v d}{\mu} \] where: - \( \rho \) is the density of the fluid, - \( v \) is the velocity of the fluid, - \( d \) is the characteristic length (usually diameter for pipes), - \( \mu \) is the dynamic viscosity of the fluid. 2. **Flow Types Based on Reynolds Number**: - **Laminar Flow**: Occurs when \( R_e < 1000 \). The flow is smooth and orderly. - **Transitional Flow**: Occurs when \( 1000 < R_e < 2000 \). The flow is neither fully laminar nor fully turbulent; it can fluctuate between the two. - **Turbulent Flow**: Occurs when \( R_e > 2000 \). The flow is chaotic and irregular. 3. **Analyzing the Statements**: - **Option A**: "For \( R_e \) flow is laminar for \( R_e \) belongs to 1000 to 2000." - This statement is incorrect because the flow is transitional in this range, not laminar. - **Option B**: "Flow is steady state for \( R_e \) belongs to 1000 to 2000." - This statement is also incorrect because the flow in this range is transitional and can be unsteady. - **Option C**: "For \( R_e > 2000 \) flow is turbulent." - This statement is correct as it aligns with the definition of turbulent flow. 4. **Conclusion**: - The incorrect statements are A and B. However, since the question asks for which is incorrect and does not specify how many, we can conclude that both A and B are incorrect. ### Final Answer: The incorrect statement is: - "For \( R_e \) flow is laminar for \( R_e \) belongs to 1000 to 2000."

To determine which statement about the Reynolds number \( R_e \) is incorrect, we need to understand the definitions and characteristics of flow types associated with different ranges of \( R_e \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Reynolds Number**: - The Reynolds number \( R_e \) is defined as: \[ R_e = \frac{\rho v d}{\mu} ...
