← ScienceWhich risk increases when a fluid's Reynolds number passes a critical value in a pipe network?
A)Laminar flow becomes dominant overall
B)Head loss rises non-linearly✓
C)Viscosity effects stabilize the network
D)Pressure oscillations get dampened faster
💡 Explanation
Head loss increases significantly because turbulent EDQNM dominates at high Reynolds number rather than viscous linear effects; therefore, energy dissipation rises non-linearly, compared to laminar flow responses which have slower head loss changes.
