← ScienceWhich outcome results when Reynolds number transitions within an aircraft fuel line?
A)Laminar flow becomes fully turbulent✓
B)Viscosity proportionally damps fuel flow
C)Hydraulic resistance linearly decreases
D)Entrance length stays virtually constant
💡 Explanation
Laminar flow becomes turbulent because inertial forces overcome viscous damping; therefore the flow transitions to turbulent flow, rather than gradually changing, because increased inertial forces associated with increasing Reynolds number dominate.
