Which outcome reduces pumping efficiency when viscous fluid flow exceeds a turbine's design limits?

💡 Explanation

Exceeding a turbine's design limits can trigger turbulence; increased shear stresses accelerate energy dissipation because momentum diffusion increases during turbulent flow, therefore energy converts to heat, rather than useful work, rather than smoother streamline based potential energy use.
