← ScienceWithin a Venturi meter with high flow, which outcome results when pipe roughness significantly increases?
A)Pressure differential reading error✓
B)Reduced cavitation risk downstream
C)Increased accuracy in flow measurement
D)Higher calculated fluid viscosity apparent
💡 Explanation
Increased pipe roughness transitions flow toward turbulence; this phenomenon causes error because the Bernoulli Equation assumes ideal, laminar flow. Therefore, differential pressure readings become incorrect, rather than improving the measurement, because high roughness invalidates the core assumption.
