Which risk increases in pipeline flow when turbulent fluctuations exceed threshold?

💡 Explanation

Increased turbulence intensifies fluid shear stress at the pipe walls, promoting erosion-corrosion via localized material removal. Electrochemical action accelerates the metal's return to its oxide state; therefore, corrosion increases, rather than thermal changes or pump inefficiency, because electrochemical reactions are sensitive to shear.
