← ScienceWhich consequence arises from excessive pressure drop within a Venturi meter?
A)Inaccurate flow rate measurement✓
B)Increased kinetic energy recovery
C)Reduced turbulence intensity
D)Stable laminar fluid dynamics
💡 Explanation
Inaccurate flow rate measurement occurs because cavitation will form due to pressure dropping below the fluid vapour pressure, according to Bernoulli's equation. Therefore, the meter cannot accurately measure volumetric flow rate, rather than enhancing kinetic energy recovery as the equation’s assumptions are violated.
