← ScienceWhich consequence results when steam flow in a turbine exceeds Reynolds number threshold?
A)Increased blade surface crystallization occurs
B)Laminar flow transitions into turbulence✓
C)Internal pressure statically increases linearly
D)Condensation shock reduces overall efficiency
💡 Explanation
Exceeding the Reynolds number threshold causes turbulent flow, because the inertial forces dominate over viscous forces, leading to a shift from laminar to turbulent. Therefore, turbulence occurs rather than maintaining smooth, predictable laminar flow, or other static changes.
