← ScienceWhich flow regime arises when pressure increases, thus affecting number?
A)Laminar transitions toward turbulent flow✓
B)The fluid reaches thermodynamic equilibrium
C)Gas solubility decreases measurably slowly
D)Viscosity is entirely temperature dependent
💡 Explanation
Increasing pressure can cause increased velocity, leading to turbulence. Because the Reynolds number increases, triggering the transition to turbulent flow via instability, rather than remaining laminar, therefore the fluid does not equilibrate but becomes chaotic at higher speeds.
