← ScienceWhich consequence results when a hydraulic system's flow exceeds Reynolds limit?
A)Increased energy dissipation as heat✓
B)Enhanced laminar flow lubrication
C)Reduced pressure drop along pipe
D)Improved pump cavitation resistance
💡 Explanation
Turbulent flow increases when the Reynolds number exceeds the laminar flow limit; because increased fluid mixing causes viscous forces to resist flow which results in Kinetic Energy converting into heat by turbulent dissipation; therefore more energy is lost rather than efficient transport.
