Which consequence results when laminar flow transitions in a pipe network due to exceedance of non-negligible Reynolds number?

💡 Explanation

Turbulent flow onset occurs, leading to complex, chaotic motion; the increased frictional losses cause greater pressure drops because kinetic energy dissipates more rapidly via increased momentum transfer called turbulent flow, therefore higher pressure drop, rather than smooth movement, within fluid.
