Which outcome results when fluid viscosity increases within an industrial paint sprayer?

💡 Explanation

Increased viscosity causes a larger boundary layer at the nozzle exit because viscous forces dominate, influencing momentum transfer via increased internal friction rather than inviscid effects. Therefore, a narrow spray cone results, rather than smaller droplets from faster breakup.
