Which risk increases when a fluid's Reynolds number exceeds pipe design constraints?

💡 Explanation

Increased turbulence will elevate the frictional head losses, because the chaotic fluid changes the kinetic energy into frictional heating, resulting in increased drag, therefore turbulent drag worsens over laminar. Pressure remains rather than linear declines in the smooth pipe condition.
