← ScienceWhich outcome results when exceeding the Reynolds number in aircraft hydraulic lines?
A)Increased line pressure and failure
B)Transition to turbulent flow regime✓
C)Enhanced laminar flow efficiency
D)Decreased fluid corrosion rate
💡 Explanation
Fluid changes to turbulent flow because exceeding the Reynolds number increases inertial forces relative to viscous forces. Therefore, turbulent flow results rather than laminar because inertia dominates at higher velocities.
