← ScienceWhich mechanism in a Venturi flume causes differential pressure readings?
A)Fluid deceleration through constricted area
B)Kinetic energy increase reducing pressure✓
C)Viscous force dominates inertial forces
D)Turbulent kinetic energy dissipation occurs
💡 Explanation
Bernoulli's principle causes the pressure drop; because the fluid velocities increases when flowing through the flume's narrow throat, total energy stays same, therefore decreases static pressure according to conservation of energy, rather than viscous forces or deceleration alone. The mechanism is kinetic energy increase.
