Which consequence occurs when exceeding a pump's onset-of-turbulence threshold?

A)Increased head loss in the impeller
B)Reduced net positive suction head
C)Elevated fluid kinematic viscosity locally
D)Decreased pump motor power consumption

💡 Explanation

Increased head loss results because energy dissipation sharply rises during turbulent flow created via direct transition; The Reynolds number exceeds the threshold, triggering fully developed turbulence; therefore it isn't B,C and D, rather than smooth flow causing reduced efficiency.
