← ScienceWhich consequence results when surface tension breaks the Young-Laplace equation?
A)Increased capillary flow stability
B)Formation of interfacial turbulence✓
C)Decreased critical micelle concentration
D)Enhanced evaporative cooling efficiency
💡 Explanation
Interfacial turbulence occurs because surface tension gradients invalidate simplifying assumptions in the Young-Laplace equation which governs capillary pressure. Therefore, instabilities arise driving chaotic mixing, rather than a stable concentration because of disrupted force balance.
