Which outcome occurs when fluid velocity exceeds design limits in aircraft fuel lines?

💡 Explanation

Unstable fuel pressure results because exceeding designed velocity induces turbulent flow within the fuel lines, leading to pressure fluctuations according to the "Rayleigh-Plesset equation"; therefore, oscillations occur, rather than stable laminar flow.
