Which consequence results when turbulence disrupts laminar flow in a mixing impeller?

💡 Explanation

Disruption of laminar flow by turbulence in a mixing impeller drastically reduces mass transfer efficiency because chaotic motion hinders uniform mixing, disturbing the boundary layer. Therefore mass transfer degrades, rather than pressure decreasing or shaft resonance increasing, because momentum transfer is the dominant effect.
