Which risk increases when a high Reynolds number forces turbulent flow in a prolonged microchannel?

💡 Explanation

Concentration polarization will occur, because turbulent flow increases the transport of solutes to the channel wall, exceeding the diffusion rate described by Fick's law causing buildup; therefore polarization intensifies rather than uniform transfer due to laminar conditions.
