← ScienceWhich consequence results when elevated Reynolds number induces disturbances?
A)Increased momentum energy dissipation✓
B)Decreased pressure induced resistance
C)Laminar flow efficiency improves
D)Streamlined particle movement increases
💡 Explanation
Transition to turbulence increases energy dissipation because eddy formation via viscous forces becomes dominant. Therefore, momentum energy dissipates, rather than streamlined flow improving, which requires lower Reynolds numbers and laminar conditions.
