← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a gas pipeline suddenly constricts?
A)Increased flow turbulence downstream✓
B)Decreased gas density equally
C)Significant temperature equalization occurs
D)Sonic boom propagates upstream broadly
💡 Explanation
Increased flow turbulence results, because the vena contracta effect causes increased velocity locally; laminar flow transitions to turbulent due to exceeding a critical Reynolds number therefore increased turbulence, rather than smoother flow implied by other options and specific gas mixture.
