Science

Which mechanism affects heat exchanger effectiveness at a Reynolds number transition?

A)Reduced boundary layer thermal resistance
B)Increased tube wall material fatigue
C)Enhanced laminar sublayer heat transfer
D)Elevated core fluid convective losses

💡 Explanation

Turbulence causes lower thermal resistance because turbulent mixing reduces boundary layer thickness at higher Reynolds numbers; therefore, heat transfer improves rather than deteriorating through increased fatigue or being limited by conduction.
