Which mechanism reduces the flow rate when honey is pumped under high shear constraints?

💡 Explanation

Shear-thinning reduces honey's viscosity under pump shear because the fluid's internal structure breaks down under stress, therefore, the flow rate drops more slowly than expected, rather than exhibiting cavitation or increased diffusion.
