Which mechanism causes higher pipeline drag when increasing oil flow?

💡 Explanation

Increased flow raises the Reynolds number, causing a turbulent transition leading to higher drag. This frictional drag converts kinetic energy into heat because turbulence increases momentum transfer between the different fluid layers relative to laminar flow. Therefore, drag increases rather than decreases arising from either viscous effects alone.
