← ScienceWhich behavior results downstream when a narrowing pipe violates ideal Bernoulli assumptions?
A)Increased turbulence and energy dissipation✓
B)Elevated static pressure recovery
C)Decreased fluid velocity fluctuations
D)Stable laminar flow characteristics
💡 Explanation
Increased turbulence and energy dissipation occurs because viscosity effects cause deviations that the Bernoulli equation neglects; increased fluid velocity therefore lowers local pressure less than predicted, which causes increased losses, rather than accurately anticipating pressure recovery.
