← ScienceWhich result occurs within a Venturi meter if fluid viscosity is abnormally elevated when Bernoulli's equation is applied?
A)Increased flow rate measurement accuracy
B)Higher indicated pressure differential
C)Underestimated volumetric flow calculation✓
D)Overestimated fluid kinetic energy reported
💡 Explanation
The volumetric flow is underestimated when viscosity increases because viscous forces cause greater energy dissipation along the Venturi, violating the ideal assumptions upon which Bernoulli's equation is based; therefore, resulting in underestimation rather than accurate measurements.
