Which outcome happens when pumping viscous fluid if Reynolds number increases?

💡 Explanation

An increased Reynolds number signifies a transition towards turbulence; because inertial forces dominate, turbulent eddies appear causing energy dissipation. Therefore, energy loss increases, rather than the stability, which decreases as viscosity dampens, while the pump becomes harder to control.
