Which risk increases when flow exceeds transition point?

A)Enhanced pressure vessel wall fatigue
B)Improved pump cavitation performance
C)Decreased laminar flow resistance
D)Higher net positive suction head

💡 Explanation

Exceeding the transition point causes turbulence that increases fatigue rate of piping because of increased dynamic fluctuations within the system around the critical Reynold's Number. Stress concentrations become enhanced; therefore promoting fatigue rather than other stable configurations, at lower energy levels.
