← ScienceWhich consequence results when turbulence occurs inside a microfluidic device?
A)Increased mixing of multiple fluids✓
B)Decreased drag force from sidewalls
C)Laminar flow becomes more stable
D)Reduced heat transfer efficiency
💡 Explanation
Increased mixing happens because turbulence induces chaotic advection, disrupting laminar flow patterns and increasing contact area between fluids at different concentrations. This improves mixing, therefore is the correct answer, rather than decreasing fluid interaction that would typically occur with laminar regimes.
