← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a Venturi meter experiences turbulent flow?
A)Inaccurate differential pressure measurement results✓
B)Increased laminar flow measurement accuracy
C)Cavitation erosion remains impossible
D)Viscosity effects become wholly negligible
💡 Explanation
Increased turbulent flow in a Venturi meter introduces unpredictable pressure fluctuations which violates the assumptions of the Bernoulli equation; therefore, the differential pressure measured gives inaccurate readings, instead of precise values, because the turbulent kinetic energy increases.
