← ScienceWhich risk increases when a chemical plant's laminar flow exceeds constraints implied by the Hagen-Poiseuille equation?
A)Increased thermal convection losses
B)Erroneous flow rate calculation✓
C)Systematic catalyst equilibrium shift
D)Accelerated reactor component corrosion
💡 Explanation
Exceeding laminar flow limits causes turbulence, violating the Hagen-Poiseuille equation’s assumptions; therefore, calculated flow rates become inaccurate because the enhanced mixing transitions behaviour into non-ideal advection patterns, rather than pure laminar conditions.
