← ScienceWhich risk increases when increasing flow through a pipe network?
A)Increased turbulent kinetic energy dissipation✓
B)Reduced viscous sublayer thickness
C)Decreased momentum diffusion rate
D)Lower critical temperature differences
💡 Explanation
Increased flow prompts transition to turbulence; the turbulent kinetic energy dissipation significantly rises because increasing flow induces strong eddies. Therefore more kinetic energy dissipates to heat, rather than increased pressure; viscous flow is not affected.
