26.
At low Reynold's number, the power (P) required for agitating a fluid in a stirred tank becomes independent of inertial forces. In this limit, indicate which of the following relations is satisfied:
Po = ρ/ρN3 D5 : Power number
Re = ρ N D2/μ: Reynold's number
N is the impeller rotational speed, and D is the impeller diameter.
Po ∝ Re-1.0
Po ∝ Re0.0
Po ∝ Re0.5
Po ∝ Re1.0
Answer: Option

Here, p is independent of velocity.

And re is proportional to velocity.

That means p is not a function of re, so option B is the correct answer.

I too agree, A is the correct answer.

Po is inversely proportional to sqrt of Re. So, none of the above is the correct answer.

The Correct answer is A.

At low Reynolds no, Nre<10, Power number is inversely proportional to Reynolds number.

And Nre>10000, Po is independent of Reynolds number.
