← ScienceWhich consequence results when a fluid reaches transitional turbulence in a fuel injection system?
A)Fuel atomization rate increase sharply✓
B)Volumetric flow rate remains constant
C)Viscosity effects become negligible
D)Reynolds number decreases significantly
💡 Explanation
Increased mixing amplifies surface area; therefore, increasing atomization (the intended effect). The mechanism driving this results from turbulence's chaotic eddy formation becoming dominant, rather than viscosity slowing fuel breakup, because inertial forces exceed viscous forces within the fuel stream.
