← ScienceWhich outcome follows when a fluid exceeds Reynolds Number threshold within a venturi?
A)Turbulence increases energy dissipation significantly✓
B)Laminar flow becomes proportionally dominant
C)Pressure recovery reaches near theoretical limits
D)Viscosity exerts negligible system resistance
💡 Explanation
Increased velocity causes transitional stall, thus turbulent dissipation. Energy dissipation spikes because turbulent intensity rises sharply affecting resistance; therefore drag increase outweighs any laminar potential, rather than the expected reduction, exceeding optimal flow efficiency.
