Which consequence results when estimating flow with Bernoulli's equation despite significant friction?

A)Velocity measurements show added turbulence
B)Pressure estimates diverge upwards
C)Computed velocities exceed maximum achievable
D)Calculated pressure drops underestimate actual

💡 Explanation

When viscous forces generate substantial drag, frictional losses increase; this causes pressure change following the Hagen-Poiseuille equation because viscosity converts kinetic energy to heat. Therefore, the calculated pressure drop is lower than the actual, rather than vice versa, since irreversibilities aren't accounted for.
