Which outcome decreases hydraulic efficiency within a centrifugal slurry pump, when handling solid-liquid mixtures near a critical limit affecting the Reynolds number?

💡 Explanation

Increased frictional pressure results, caused by flow transition; the *transition to turbulence* because solids prevent a consistent laminar flow and therefore increases friction dramatically, rather than the flow remaining laminar, affecting pump efficiency.
