← ScienceWhich consequence results when turbulent flow exceeds a pipe's capacity, rendering the Bernoulli equation inaccurate?
A)Pressure drop approximations become misleading✓
B)Viscosity effects become negligible
C)Fluid density assumes constant values
D)Velocity gradients show smooth transitions
💡 Explanation
Increased turbulence creates energy losses not accounted for in the idealized Bernoulli equation; therefore, pressure drop predictions mislead because the kinetic energy term interaction becomes chaotic, rather than viscosity being simplified by the model.
