← ScienceWhich result occurs when molten metal's Reynolds number exceeds a threshold?
A)Increased laminar flow stability
B)The onset of turbulent flow✓
C)Decreased heat transfer efficiency
D)Enhanced crystalline structure formation
💡 Explanation
A high Reynolds number indicates inertial forces dominate, therefore, leading to the onset of turbulent flow. This is because turbulent flow arises from increased kinetic energy overcoming viscous damping, rather than promoting laminar stability.
