Which outcome results as coolant flow transitions beyond laminar near the critical Reynolds number in a microchannel heat sink?

💡 Explanation

Turbulent mixing increases heat transfer; the Reynolds number characterizes flow regime. Transition to turbulence triggers enhanced mixing because inertial forces dominate viscous forces, therefore heat transfer increases, rather than decreases by reduced pressure.
