Which result occurs when an oil pipeline flow exceeds the safety-rated Reynolds number?

💡 Explanation

Increased frictional drag occurs because exceeding the rated Reynolds number promotes turbulent flow, increasing the momentum transfer via **eddy viscosity**. Therefore, more energy dissipates against the pipe rather than steady flow, distinct from laminar conditions.
