Which consequence results when a fluid reaches transitional turbulence in a fuel injection system?

💡 Explanation

Increased mixing amplifies surface area; therefore, increasing atomization (the intended effect). The mechanism driving this results from turbulence's chaotic eddy formation becoming dominant, rather than viscosity slowing fuel breakup, because inertial forces exceed viscous forces within the fuel stream.
