Q. With respect to the relationship between the power number and the impeller Reynolds’s number, which amongst the following statements is true?

View solution

Q. Statement 1: In the transient zone, the power input depends on the density and viscosity of the fluid.
Statement 2: In the laminar zone, the power input depends on the density only. It is independent of the viscosity of the fluid.

View solution

Q. Statement 1: For non-Newtonian fluids, another term called apparent viscosity is used as their viscosity changes with the change in the shear rate.
Statement 2: For non-Newtonian fluids, between the transition region, the power number for non-Newtonian fluids is slightly higher than that for Newtonian fluids.
