Which outcome occurs when Reynolds number exceeds a laminar threshold in a pump?

💡 Explanation

Transition to turbulence causes increased pressure drop, using energy due to chaotic eddies; the `turbulent transition` increases dissipation because of energy spreading rather than smooth streamlines, therefore answer B; A and C falsely detail different effects.
