Which circumstance increases risk of turbulent flow through piping?

💡 Explanation

Increased flow rates inherently increase the Reynolds number, because Reynolds number expresses the ratio of inertial to viscous forces; therefore, instabilities occur leading to disruption and turbulence and drag, rather than remaining laminar with stable flow.
