Which mechanism limits flow-rate when pumping viscous oil?

💡 Explanation

Increased boundary layer energy dissipation reduces the flow-rate because viscosity causes the fluid's laminar boundary layer to increase shear stress. Therefore, more energy dissipates hindering the flow rate, rather than bulk temperature increase or cavitation.
