Question
Define critical velocity.
✓
Answer
Critical velocity : The critical velocity is that maximum velocity of the flow of a fluid, at a velocity below which the flow of fluid is streamline and at a velocity above which the flow of fluid is trubulent. Critical velocity is directly proportion to coefficient of viscosity $\eta$ of fluid and it is inversely proportional to the density of liquid ( $\rho$ ) and inversely proportional to the diameter of tube (D). Therefore, $v _{ C } \propto \frac{\eta}{\rho D }$ $\therefore\quad v _{ C }=\frac{ R \eta}{\rho D }$ where $R \approx 2000$ is Reynolds number.
