← ScienceWhich consequence results when a fluid's velocity increases through a venturi?
A)Static pressure will substantially decrease.✓
B)Dynamic viscosity will proportionally increase.
C)Shear stress at the wall increases.
D)Reynolds number remains effectively constant.
💡 Explanation
The pressure decreases because the governing Bernoulli's Equation dictates that total energy remains constant; therefore, increased kinetic energy requires decreased pressure, rather than significant increases in viscosity or Reynolds number.
