Which risk increases in a Venturi meter when fluid velocity assumptions deviate from the Bernoulli equation?

💡 Explanation

Fluid flow is underestimated if the real fluid’s viscosity is appreciable because viscous dissipation decreases energy conservation, meaning Bernoulli's equation produces a higher theoretical value than measured. Therefore the estimated flow is lower rather than higher, impacting meter accuracy.
