Which instability arises when exceeding viscosity limits within Poiseuille's equation?

A)Laminar becomes highly turbulent flow
B)Increased pressure negates Reynolds number
C)Reverse flow initiates cavitation damage
D)Density causes fluid compressibility increase

💡 Explanation

Poiseuille's equation assumes laminar flow; exceeding relevant Reynolds number causes transition via turbulence as inertial forces overcome viscous damping of fluctuations. Because exceeding viscosity limits forces turbulence, therefore laminar flow assumption breaks rather than inducing cavitation.
