Which consequence results when applying Bernoulli's equation to highly turbulent flow within a pipe network?

A)Pressure readings will become unstable
B)Velocity calculations grow increasingly inaccurate
C)Reynolds number predictions lose significance
D)Viscosity effects become negligible to calculate

💡 Explanation

Bernoulli's equation assumes laminar, inviscid flow so applying it to turbulent flow increases errors, because the equation doesn't account for energy dissipation through Eddy dissipation during chaotic pressure fluctuations. The inaccurate velocity estimates therefore undermine overall reliability, rather than affecting pressure stability.
