Which outcome occurs when a fluid exceeds its laminar flow threshold in a pipe?

💡 Explanation

Exceeding the laminar flow threshold induces turbulence and the formation of eddies; because kinetic energy is dissipated by the increased interactions within these turbulent structures, therefore, pressure drop intensifies, rather than linear scaling. Viscosity is overcome.
