← ScienceWhich consequence results when viscous forces dominate during pipeline flow?
A)Increased flow rate in pipelines
B)Decreased onset of turbulent flow✓
C)Elevated boundary layer thickness
D)Consistent kinetic energy distribution
💡 Explanation
Decreased formation of turbulence results because viscous forces increase fluid cohesion, leading to laminar flow instead, according to the Reynolds number in momentum transport; therefore turbulent transitions are suppressed rather than being driven, because of excessive internal friction.
