Select the WRONG statement from the following. In a streamline flow

Select the WRONG statement from the following. In a streamline flow
  1. velocity of a fluid at a given point is never constant.
  2. velocity is smaller than critical velocity.
  3. layers are always parallel.
  4. the particles do not move in random direction.

Solution

In streamlined flow, the velocity of a fluid at a specific point is always constant because each particle of the fluid follows a well-defined path and there is no mixing or crossing of paths between particles.
