Which risk increases when a chemical plant's laminar flow exceeds constraints implied by the Hagen-Poiseuille equation?

A)Increased thermal convection losses
B)Erroneous flow rate calculation
C)Systematic catalyst equilibrium shift
D)Accelerated reactor component corrosion

💡 Explanation

Exceeding laminar flow limits causes turbulence, violating the Hagen-Poiseuille equation’s assumptions; therefore, calculated flow rates become inaccurate because the enhanced mixing transitions behaviour into non-ideal advection patterns, rather than pure laminar conditions.
