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

A)Reduced nozzle spray cone angle
B)Increased droplet evaporation rate
C)Higher pump motor efficiency
D)Diminished pigment settling rate

💡 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.
