← ScienceWhich risk increases when airflow velocity exceeds design limits within a venturi nozzle?
A)Flow separation from the walls✓
B)Increased static pressure recovery
C)Decreased skin friction coefficient
D)Improved aerodynamic boundary layer
💡 Explanation
Flow separation occurs with excessive velocity due to the adverse pressure gradient overcoming the fluid's momentum. This is because viscous effects near the wall cause the boundary layer to thicken; therefore separation ensues and drag increases rather than orderly flow.
