Which outcome results when internal pipe roughness reduces the Reynolds number?

💡 Explanation

Lowering the Reynolds number favors laminar flow; because Reynolds number reduction is due to increased viscous effects, the fluid experiences greater damping of turbulent fluctuations, therefore flow becomes more orderly rather than chaotic.
