← ScienceWhich effect occurs to flow rate when reducing viscosity?
A)Mass flow rate increases greatly✓
B)Liquid volume requires minor decrease
C)Pressure drop increases linearly
D)Kinetic energy shows no change
💡 Explanation
Decreasing viscosity lowers fluid resistance, and therefore the mass flow rate increases greatly, because the fluid moves more easily when driven by pressure gradients. This reduces viscous dissipation, therefore, pressure drop is not a simple linear impact, rather than related properties like kinetic energy increase substantially.
