Which mechanism causes reduced hydraulic efficiency in viscous fluid systems?

💡 Explanation

Frictional losses in viscous fluids increase turbulence through the Reynolds number threshold; the viscous frictional force is converted to turbulent kinetic energy. Therefore efficiency decreases, rather than increasing static head or inducing cavitation.
