Which consequence results when laminar flow transitions to turbulence within a microfluidic device?

💡 Explanation

Increased mixing results from turbulence forming vortices in device; it increases contact area via convective mass transfer because inertial forces become significant relative to the viscous forces, therefore, mixing rates increase greatly rather than pressure reduction/altering conductivity.
