← ScienceWhich mechanism affects heat exchanger effectiveness at a Reynolds number transition?
A)Reduced boundary layer thermal resistance✓
B)Increased tube wall material fatigue
C)Enhanced laminar sublayer heat transfer
D)Elevated core fluid convective losses
💡 Explanation
Turbulence causes lower thermal resistance because turbulent mixing reduces boundary layer thickness at higher Reynolds numbers; therefore, heat transfer improves rather than deteriorating through increased fatigue or being limited by conduction.
