← ScienceWhich risk increases in a Venturi meter when fluid velocity assumptions deviate from the Bernoulli equation?
A)Underestimated fluid flow✓
B)Increased boundary layer thickness
C)Cavitation damage increase
D)Faulty gauge readings
💡 Explanation
Fluid flow is underestimated if the real fluid’s viscosity is appreciable because viscous dissipation decreases energy conservation, meaning Bernoulli's equation produces a higher theoretical value than measured. Therefore the estimated flow is lower rather than higher, impacting meter accuracy.
