What will be the nature of flow of water from a circular tap, when its flow rate increased from $0.18\, L / min$ to $0.48\, L / min$ ? The radius of the tap and viscosity of water are $0.5\, cm$ and $10^{-3}\, Pa s$, respectively.

The nature of flow is determined by Reynolds Number.

$R _{ e }=\frac{\rho vD }{\eta}$

$[\rho \rightarrow$ density of fluid ;

$\eta \rightarrow$ coefficient of ;

$v \rightarrow$ velocity of flow ;

$D \rightarrow$ Diameter of pipe$]$

From NCERT

If $R _{ e }<1000 \quad \rightarrow$ flow is steady

$1000< R _{ e }<2000 \rightarrow$ flow becomes unsteady

$R _{ e }>2000 \rightarrow$ flow is turbulent

$R _{ e \text { initial }}=10^{3} \times \frac{0.18 \times 10^{-3}}{\pi \times\left(0.5 \times 10^{-2}\right)^{2} \times 60} \times \frac{1 \times 10^{-2}}{10^{-3}}$

$=382.16$

$R _{ efinal }=10^{3} \times \frac{0.48 \times 10^{-3}}{\pi \times\left(0.5 \times 10^{-2}\right)^{2} \times 60} \times \frac{1 \times 10^{-2}}{10^{-3}}$

$=1019.09$

    A cylindrical vessel of height $500 \mathrm{~mm}$ has an orifice (small hole) at its bottom. The orifice is initially closed and water is filled in it up to height $\mathrm{H}$. Now the top is completely sealed with a cap and the orifice at the bottom is opened. Some water comes out from the orifice and the water level in the vessel becomes steady with height of water column being $200 \mathrm{~mm}$. Find the fall in height (in ${m m}$ ) of water level due to opening of the orifice.

    Karman line is a theoretical construct that separates the earth's atmosphere from outer space. It is defined to be the height at which the lift on an aircraft flying at the speed of a polar satellite $(8 \,km / s )$ is equal to its weight. Taking a fighter aircraft of wing area $30 \,m ^2$, and mass $7500 \,kg$, the height of the Karman line above the ground will be in the range .............. $km$ (assume the density of air at height $h$ above ground to be $\rho( h )=1.2 e ^{\frac{ h }{10}} \,kg / m ^3$ where $h$ is in $km$ and the lift force to be $\frac{1}{2} \rho v^2 A$, where $v$ is the speed of the aircraft and $A$ its wing area).
