← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a fluid exceeds its laminar flow threshold in a pipe?
A)Turbulent eddies increase energy dissipation✓
B)Viscosity dominates inertial forces
C)Pressure linearly scales with flow
D)Fluid layering enhances momentum transfer
💡 Explanation
Exceeding the laminar flow threshold induces turbulence and the formation of eddies; because kinetic energy is dissipated by the increased interactions within these turbulent structures, therefore, pressure drop intensifies, rather than linear scaling. Viscosity is overcome.
