Which outcome occurs during turbulent flow in pipelines?

💡 Explanation

Increased frictional pressure drop occurs, caused by momentum diffusion due to turbulence; because the erratic motion disperses energy as thermal energy through viscosity, rather than consistent laminar momentum transfer. Therefore, pressure loss increases, rather than laminar stabilization, because the Reynolds number exceeds critical value under these conditions.
