← ScienceWhich consequence results when a Venturi meter is misapplied with non-Newtonian fluids?
A)Pressure drop accurately indicates flow
B)Turbulent flow becomes fully laminar
C)Shear-thinning affects viscosity measures✓
D)Viscosity causes minimal measurement impact
💡 Explanation
Spurious readings occur due to changing fluid properties. The assumed constant viscosity within Bernoulli’s equation no longer applies. Therefore, shear-thinning will introduce errors in the measurement, rather than an accurate measurement being obtained from the meter because viscosity affects pressure variations rather than flow alone.
