Which outcome results when applying Bernoulli's equation improperly using pitot tube measurements?

A)Incorrect fluid velocity will be calculated
B)True static pressure reading prevails
C)Accurate flow rates are then guaranteed
D)Boundary layer separation inevitably diminishes

💡 Explanation

An incorrect fluid velocity is calculated because applying Bernoulli's equation assumes inviscid, steady flow; however, pitot tubes may experience turbulence altering total pressure. Therefore, the calculated velocity is often overestimated rather than providing an accurate measure.
