Which risk increases when a fluid's non-dimensional number exceeds design limits?

💡 Explanation

Exceeding the Reynolds number limit within a pipe system leads to turbulent flow because inertial forces dominate viscous forces, triggering the transition to turbulence. Therefore, kinetic energy dissipation rises rather than a stable thermal boundary, because the flow pattern is randomized.
