← ScienceWhich consequence results when a deep-sea oil pipeline experiences internal turbulence?
A)Increased frictional pressure drop occurs✓
B)Laminar flow becomes more stabilized
C)Cavitation erosion is immediately halted
D)Fluid density remains uniformly constant
💡 Explanation
Increased frictional pressure drop occurs along the oil pipeline when internal turbulence causes increased mixing and momentum transfer because viscous shear stresses significantly rise, therefore the pressure required to drive the fluid is higher, rather than reduced stability of laminar flow.
