Which consequence results when simplified fluid flow estimates, omitting viscosity in the Navier-Stokes equations, are applied to a control valve?

💡 Explanation

Using simplistic flow models neglects friction; therefore, the predicted flow coefficient is too high because the predicted pressure drop is smaller and ignores the viscosity effect; the true flow capacity will be lower, rather than accurate.
