Which outcome occurs when cooling high-viscosity oil inside pipeline?

💡 Explanation

Increased viscosity causes greater resistance to flow causing a higher pressure drop; this outcome occurs because of viscous drag. Increased viscosity means greater momentum diffusion, therefore pressure drop increases rather than decreases, especially under constant flowrate.
