← ScienceWhich outcome results when pipe flow exceeds capacity?
A)Increased frictional losses due to turbulence✓
B)Viscosity increase lowers Reynolds number
C)Laminar sublayer reduces momentum transfer
D)Decreased wall shear with pressure drop
💡 Explanation
Increased flow leads to turbulence because the increased kinetic energy overcomes viscous forces; therefore frictional losses increase dramatically, rather than reduced shear caused by laminar flow.
