Which consequence results when laminar flow transitions to turbulence in an oil pipeline?

💡 Explanation

A transition to turbulence causes greater mixing and interactions, therefore increasing the frictional forces inside pipe, because viscous drag dominates energy dissipation enhancing pressure drop rather than reduced dissipation arising alternative flow dynamics.
