← ScienceWhich mechanism causes deviations from Bernoulli's equation in pipelines?
A)Viscosity leads to energy dissipation✓
B)Pressure gradients inducing cavitation
C)Increased bulk fluid compressibility
D)Kinetic energy drives fluid instability
💡 Explanation
Viscosity introduces shear stresses, causing viscous dissipation; therefore, more energy converts to thermal energy, and the fluid experiences head loss, rather than ideal, frictionless flow, because Bernoulli assumes negligible viscosity.
