Which consequence arises from underestimating viscous effects when applying Bernoulli's equation to a fluid system?

A)Overestimation of flow rate
B)Accurate kinetic energy prediction
C)Pressure gradient stabilization occurs
D)Reversible turbulence is estimated correctly

💡 Explanation

Underestimating viscous effects leads to an overestimation of the flow rate because the **viscous dissipation** reduces the overall energy available for fluid motion, therefore, the equation predicts higher velocities rather than capturing frictional losses. Bernoulli's equation assumes ideal fluids.
