← ScienceWhich risk increases when the Reynolds number sharply decreases within an aircraft's fuel line?
A)Increased turbulence within the fuel
B)Elevated combustion instability potential
C)Amplified vibrational resonance severity
D)Accelerated fuel laminar flow regime✓
💡 Explanation
A significant decrease in Reynolds number promotes laminar flow because viscous forces dominate, therefore laminar flow increases fluid residence time rather than turbulence. Because velocity is lower, vibrational resonance doesn't amplify, nor necessarily change combustion instability potential.
