← ScienceWhich occurs in a venturi meter above design flow?
A)Inaccurate differential pressure measurement✓
B)Increased Reynolds number predictability
C)Laminar flow profile restoration
D)Decreased turbulent kinetic energy
💡 Explanation
In a venturi meter exceeding design limits, flow becomes increasingly turbulent. Energy losses violate the Bernoulli equation's assumptions, because viscous effects dominate, therefore, the differential pressure is no longer a reliable flow rate indicator rather than functioning predictably.
