← ScienceWhich outcome regarding pipe flow resistance results when fluid velocity exceeds the limits defined by Reynolds number?
A)Energy is reduced by laminar flow
B)Friction factor calculation simplification occurs
C)Pressure drop increases non-linearly✓
D)Viscosity dominates inertial fluid forces
💡 Explanation
Turbulence increases dramatically because inertial forces overwhelm viscous forces causing the onset of turbulent flow, therefore pressure drop from fluid resistance increases markedly rather than laminar behavior which implies smooth predictable flow.
