It should be 28.6%.

Anybody explain in detail.

Rajneesh said:   6 years ago
It should be increased by 50% because.

K -Y/u.
K=90/60=1.5*100=150.
150-100=50%.

28.6% Increased.

SK MURSHID said:   5 years ago
K=(90/70)* 100 = 128.6.

Change =128.6 -100=28.6
As total quantity is 100 so it subtracts by 100.
28.6 is the increase of value K,
Answer: B.

Taylor's equation based on Poiseuille's law for laminar flow through the circular tube is given by

k=rμe31+ec2D

Change in the coefficient of permeability.

k1 = 0.9r0.7μe31 + ecD2.
k1k = 0.90.7 * 100 = 128.57%.

change = 28.57%.
