← ScienceWhich mechanism causes flow deceleration in narrow capillaries?
A)Increased viscous boundary layer interaction✓
B)Reduced hydrostatic pressure differential
C)Enhanced fluid compressibility effects
D)Decreased thermal energy dissipation
💡 Explanation
Increased viscous boundary layer interaction acts against fluid momentum in capillaries, because the **no-slip condition** increases contact with the container walls; therefore, flow decelerates, rather than accelerating due to pressure.
