← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when pipeline crude oil temperature drops significantly?
A)Increased pressure drop reduces flow✓
B)Decreased drag raises pumping efficiency
C)Density decreases promote faster motion
D)Increased turbulence mixes stratified layers
💡 Explanation
A temperature drop increases viscosity; therefore, the increased viscous force causes higher frictional losses via the increased shear stresses associated with momentum diffusion, rather than higher pumping efficiency or turbulent mixing under these increased viscosity conditions.
