← ScienceWhich consequence results when turbulence disrupts laminar flow in a mixing impeller?
A)Reduced mass transfer efficiency occurs✓
B)Increased impeller shaft resonance results
C)Elevated fluid lubricity happens spontaneously
D)Decreased static pressure within vortices
💡 Explanation
Disruption of laminar flow by turbulence in a mixing impeller drastically reduces mass transfer efficiency because chaotic motion hinders uniform mixing, disturbing the boundary layer. Therefore mass transfer degrades, rather than pressure decreasing or shaft resonance increasing, because momentum transfer is the dominant effect.
