← ScienceWhich behavior explains reduced flow rates in pipelines?
A)Increased fluid boundary layer thickness✓
B)Decreased pipe wall roughness profiles
C)Lower pipe diameter tolerances ranges
D)Elevated operational hydrostatic pressure
💡 Explanation
The decreased flow occurs because viscous forces lead to **boundary layer** thickening, thereby reducing the effective cross-sectional area available. Therefore, this causes flow reduction rather than reductions from negligible roughness; increased pressure enhances flows.
