Which outcome results if a high Reynolds number flow assumption invalidates the Bernoulli equation within a centrifugal pump?

A)Increased energy dissipation via turbulence
B)Reliable pump performance estimation
C)Negligible impact on pressure calculations
D)Reduced viscous contribution to flow

💡 Explanation

Turbulence increases frictional losses; therefore, the assumption of inviscid flow in the Bernoulli equation fails, and energy dissipation increases rather than estimates remaining reliable, because turbulence becomes significant rather than remaining negligible, invalidating idealized assumptions.
