To find a solution to this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the Reynolds number and its definitions on the type of fluid.

A Reynolds number less than 2000 considers the laminar fluid, while a Reynolds number greater than 4000 is considered a turbulent fluid. (The intermediate between the two values would be a transient fluid)

The mathematical equation that defines the Reynolds number is given by

Re = \frac{\rho V D}{\mu}

Where

\rho = Density

V= Velocity

D= Diameter

\mu = Viscosity

Our values are given as

Q = 0.2m^3/s

D = 203*10^{-3}m

\rho = 680kg/m^3

\mu = 3.1*10^{-4}Ns/m^2

\sigma = 0.022N/m

The velocity can be find through the Discharge equation,

Q = VA

Where

V = Velocity

A = Area

Replacing,

0.2 = V* (2\pi*(\frac{203*10^{-3}}{2})^2)

V = 3.08m/s

Replacing at the Reynolds equation,

Re = \frac{\rho VD}{\mu}

Re = \frac{680*3.08*203*10^{-3}}{3.1*10^{-4}}

Re = 1.37*10^6

Since Reynolds' number is greater than 4000, then we consider this a turbulent fluid.

Draw a schematic diagram of a circuit consisting of a battery of five 2 V cells, a 5 ohm resistor, a 10 ohm resistor, a 15 ohm r
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

  • Current = 0.33 A

Explanation:

  • For diagram refer the attachment.

It is given that five cells of 2V are connected in series, so total voltage of the battery:

\dashrightarrow \: \:  \sf V = 2 \times 5 = 10 V

Three resistor of 5\Omega, 10\Omega, 15\Omega are connected in Series, so the net resistance:

\dashrightarrow \: \: \sf R_{n} = R_{1} + R_{2} + R_{3}

\dashrightarrow \: \:  \sf R = 5 + 10 + 15

{ \pink{\dashrightarrow \sf \: \: { \underbrace{R = 30 \:  \Omega}}}}

According to ohm's law:

\dashrightarrow  \sf\: \: V = IR

\dashrightarrow  \sf \: \: I = \dfrac{V}{R}

On substituting resultant voltage (V) as 10 V and resultant resistant, as 30 {\pmb{\sf{\Omega}}} we get:

\dashrightarrow \sf \: \: I = \dfrac{10V}{30\Omega}

{ \pink{\dashrightarrow \sf \: \: { \underbrace{I = 0.33 A}}}}

\thereforeThe electric current passing through the above circuit when the key is closed will be <u>0.33 A</u>
