Which consequence results when a fluid exceeds laminar flow?

A)Increased energy dissipation due to turbulence
B)Reduced dynamic viscosity observed globally
C)Decreased convective heat transfer rate
D)Minimized frictional resistance between layers

💡 Explanation

Flow instability induces turbulence, because the fluid's Reynolds number rises past a critical threshold, therefore, significantly increasing energy dissipation through chaotic eddy formation rather than lower dissipation with streamlined laminar flow conditions.
