Isothermal turbulent flow of a fluid results in decrease of its pressure, which depends on the______________?

Correct answer: C. Both A. & B.

  • A. Wall roughness
  • B. Reynolds number
  • C. Both A. & B.
  • D. Neither A. nor B.

Explanation

For turbulent flow, frictional pressure loss depends on both Reynolds number and wall roughness through the friction factor. Ignoring either can give an incorrect pressure-drop estimate.
