← ScienceWhich consequence results when flow-induced vibration excites turbulence in an oil pipeline carrying crude?
A)Erosion rate increases significantly✓
B)Laminar sublayer thickens rapidly
C)Oil viscosity decreases extremely
D)Reynolds number sharply approaches zero
💡 Explanation
Turbulence increases erosion because the increased shear stress at the pipe wall results in more aggressive material removal. Therefore, increased erosion dominates, rather than increased viscosity preventing momentum transfer or lower Reynolds number indicating less turbulence.
