← ScienceWhich consequence results when a microscopic channel's Reynolds number increases?
A)Increased diffusive mixing occurs rapidly
B)Laminar fully develops due pressure drop
C)Fluid follows unpredictable disordered paths✓
D)Viscous forces thoroughly prevent turbulent flow
💡 Explanation
Turbulent flow arises when increased Reynolds number causes inertial forces that overwhelm viscous damping. Inertial forces then cause the onset of chaotic flow; therefore, the fluid no longer adheres to orderly, predictive paths, rather than remaining in a laminar state.
