Which risk increases when a fluid handling system exceeds design Reynolds number?

💡 Explanation

Exceeding the Reynolds number promotes turbulent transition because inertial forces dominate viscous forces; therefore, turbulent flow instability increases, rather than ordered laminar behavior, and also increases, instead of reducing, friction.
