← ScienceWhich outcome accompanies laminar-turbulent transition in pipe flow?
A)Increased frictional head loss occurs rapidly✓
B)Decreased viscous forces dampen disturbances
C)Higher Reynolds number stabilizes the flow
D)Lower pipe roughness delays the shift
💡 Explanation
Increased frictional head loss promptly follows transition because momentum transfer via eddy formation associated with the Turbulence mechanism overcomes viscosity; therefore, head loss skyrockets rather than diminishing and this occurs at a specific critical Reynolds number.
