← ScienceWhich outcome affects accuracy when a microfluidic device operates outside designed thresholds?
A)Onset development of turbulent flow✓
B)Increased rate of static diffusion
C)Increased laminar sublayer thickness
D)Decreased device surface tension
💡 Explanation
The onset of turbulent flow negatively affects reproducibility because a transition past the critical Reynolds number causes chaotic mixing, therefore accuracy diminishes with turbulence rather than predictable laminar flow, which is the intended regime.
