Which 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.
