← ScienceWhich mechanical phenomenon limits flow measurement using a capillary viscometer?
A)Deviation from Poiseuille's law✓
B)Increased fluid compressibility effects
C)Turbulent kinetic energy dissipation
D)Elevated boundary layer viscosity
💡 Explanation
Deviation from Poiseuille's law occurs because, at higher flow rates, inertial effects become significant relative to viscous forces; therefore the pressure drop is not linearly proportional to flow rate, rather than viscosity dominating at low speeds and idealized behaviour.
