Science

Which outcome occurs when exceeding laminar flow limits in an aircraft's fuel line?

A)Increased drag coefficient
B)Increased fuel temperature
C)Localized pressure oscillations
D)Elevated lift generation

💡 Explanation

Localized pressure oscillations occur because transition from laminar to turbulent flow involves increased kinetic energy and eddy formation which violates the assumptions of the inviscid Bernoulli equation; therefore, cavitation increases rather than stable thermal or aerodynamic changes.
