Which consequence results when a hydraulic system's flow exceeds Reynolds limit?

💡 Explanation

Turbulent flow increases when the Reynolds number exceeds the laminar flow limit; because increased fluid mixing causes viscous forces to resist flow which results in Kinetic Energy converting into heat by turbulent dissipation; therefore more energy is lost rather than efficient transport.
