← ScienceWhich outcome arises because an industrial mixing blade reaches high rotational speed in a viscous liquid?
A)Increased energy dissipation as heat✓
B)Cavitation-induced blade material erosion
C)Formation of a stable Karman vortex
D)Decreased fluid pressure near impeller
💡 Explanation
Increased energy dissipation occurs because fluid friction due to the liquid's viscosity converts kinetic energy into thermal energy increases substantially with speed; therefore heat is generated, rather than pressure drop occurring near the impeller.
