Which consequence results when elevated Reynolds number induces disturbances?

💡 Explanation

Transition to turbulence increases energy dissipation because eddy formation via viscous forces becomes dominant. Therefore, momentum energy dissipates, rather than streamlined flow improving, which requires lower Reynolds numbers and laminar conditions.
