During rapid drainage from a tank through a pipe, which outcome increases when the pipe narrows?

💡 Explanation

Cavitation risk rises following Bernoulli's principle; increased velocity reduces pressure because total energy is conserved. Therefore, higher velocity amplifies cavitation risk, rather than equalizing viscosity or increasing static pressure evenly; Reynolds number decreases.
