← ScienceWhich inaccuracy arises applying Bernoulli's equation across turbines?
A)Kinetic energy assumptions become invalid
B)Fluid viscosity effects cannot be ignored✓
C)Pressure differential reaches zero value
D)Density gradients always reach equilibrium
💡 Explanation
Bernoulli's equation assumes inviscid flow, but in real turbines, viscous effects are substantial. The increased interaction between fluid layers causes increased shear stress, therefore energy is dissipated, rather than conserved, as Bernoulli predicts in ideal conditions.
