Science

Which risk increases when designing a gas pipeline with excessively high flow rates?

A)Increased probability of flow-induced vibration
B)Reduced heat transfer from friction losses
C)Enhanced laminar boundary layer formation
D)Decreased fluid momentum at constrictions

💡 Explanation

At high flow rates, transition to turbulence is more likely; because increased gas velocity reduces the fluid's stability, therefore higher flow risks flow-induced vibration, rather than damping or more efficient momentum transfer.
