Correct answer: B
-
We evaluate each statement one by one.
-
Statement A:
Surface tension arises due to extra energy of the molecules at the interior as compared to the molecules at the surface.
This is false.
- Molecules at the surface have higher potential energy than molecules in the interior because surface molecules experience unbalanced cohesive forces.
- Surface tension arises because the liquid tends to minimize its surface area due to this excess energy at the surface.
Hence, statement A is incorrect.
-
Statement B:
As the temperature of liquid rises, the coefficient of viscosity increases.
This is false.
- For liquids, viscosity decreases with increase in temperature.
- Reason: intermolecular cohesive forces become less effective as thermal motion increases.
Hence, statement B is incorrect.
-
Statement C:
As the temperature of gas increases, the coefficient of viscosity increases.
This is true.
- In gases, viscosity is due to momentum transfer between layers.
- As temperature increases, molecular speed increases, so viscosity increases.
Hence, statement C is correct.
-
Statement D:
The onset of turbulence is determined by Reynold's number.
This is true.
- Reynolds number is
- It decides whether flow is laminar or turbulent.
- Turbulence begins when Reynolds number exceeds a critical value.
Hence, statement D is correct.
-
Statement E:
In a steady flow two stream lines never intersect.
This is true.
- A streamline gives the direction of velocity at each point.
- If two streamlines intersected, the fluid particle at the intersection would have two velocity directions simultaneously, which is impossible.
Hence, statement E is correct.
-
Therefore, the correct statements are:
-
Matching with the options:
- Option B: C, D, E Only
So the correct answer is B.
