Which outcome is amplified when pipeline throughput increases?

A)Viscous pressure drop increases linearly
B)Turbulence raises the drag exponentially
C)Reynolds number approaches streamline flow
D)Laminar flow dominates pipe friction

💡 Explanation

Increased throughput raises fluid velocity, potentially triggering turbulence; the transition amplifies drag because momentum transfer increases non-linearly during turbulent interactions. Therefore drag increases, rather than laminar streamlines resisting flow, under high flow conditions.
