← ScienceWhich result is indicated when a Newtonian fluid flowing through a pipe exhibits laminar behavior based on its Reynolds number?
A)Predictable, layered flow profile✓
B)Turbulent eddy formation increases
C)Flow transitions to mixed regime
D)Extreme mixing and energy dissipation
💡 Explanation
A lower Reynolds number indicates that viscous forces dominate, leading to laminar flow; The layers slide past each other due to high viscosity, rather than entering turbulence because momentum diffusion dominates therefore causing an increase in mixing.
