Which outcome occurs in a gas pipeline when throughput exceeds design limits, creating localized pressure fluctuations?

💡 Explanation

Increased energy dissipation occurs, because exceeding limits causes turbulence; the turbulent flow regime converts kinetic energy into thermal energy via viscous dissipation, therefore increasing losses locally, rather than maintaining efficient momentum transfer, unlike laminar flow.
