← ScienceWhich outcome manifests when a fluid's velocity assumption breaks down in the Bernoulli equation?
A)Inaccurate pressure differential calculation✓
B)Enhanced laminar flow stability
C)Increased gravitational potential energy
D)Reduced static fluid pressure
💡 Explanation
The Bernoulli equation relies on an assumption of steady, incompressible flow; turbulence violates this. When turbulence occurs, energy dissipates as heat due to chaotic motion. Therefore, pressure estimates become unreliable because viscous forces are no longer negligible, rather than maintaining ideal conditions.
