← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when process fluid velocity past agitator exceeds critical Reynolds number?
A)Onset of turbulent mixing regime✓
B)Increased laminar flow efficiency
C)Decreased net impeller power draw
D)Enhanced boundary layer heat rejection
💡 Explanation
A transition to a turbulent mixing regime occurs due to increased inertial forces. Because the Reynolds number is high, inertia dominates viscous forces causing chaotic eddies; therefore turbulence results rather than stable laminar flow behavior.
