← ScienceWhich consequence occurs when fluid viscosity dominates in pipes?
A)Laminar flow prevails consistently✓
B)Bernoulli's equation dictates pressure
C)Significant kinetic energy develops
D)Turbulence begins spontaneously onset
💡 Explanation
Viscosity dampens inertial forces, promoting laminar flow determined by the Hagen-Poiseuille equation rather than forming turbulent eddies because viscous force dissipates flow irregularities; therefore, laminar flow dominates rather than turbulence under low Reynolds number conditions.
