Which outcome occurs when pumping viscous oil through a narrow pipeline at high flow rates?

💡 Explanation

Turbulent flow increases because Reynolds number increases beyond a critical threshold due to the higher oil viscosity and flow rate thus triggering transition. The increased viscous forces cause chaotic fluid motion in the pipe, therefore increasing flow regime rather than maintaining laminar regime under different conditions.
