Which risk increases when the Reynolds number exceeds a critical threshold in a pipe carrying supercritical carbon dioxide?

💡 Explanation

Elevated Reynolds number signifies conditions ripe for turbulence; the increase in Reynolds number causes the inertial forces in the fluid to overcome viscous ones, creating turbulent flow, which accelerates pipe erosion through increased wall shear stresses because of the instability of pressure distributions, therefore the erosion rate rises significantly rather than fluid stabilizing.
