← ScienceWhich outcome emerges within an aircraft's fuel lines when flow velocity exceeds a threshold?
A)System resonance induces structural fatigue
B)Turbulent energy transfer to heat✓
C)Viscosity reduces the pump pressure
D)Increased laminar boundary layer separation
💡 Explanation
Excessive fluid velocity yields turbulence; turbulent kinetic energy dissipates kinetic energy into heat because the Reynolds number surpasses its critical value, therefore, option B is correct. Option A is incorrect, rather than pressure or viscous effects, although, they could also occur under different physical effects.
