← ScienceWhich mechanism causes increased hydraulic losses within unbaffled chemical mixing tanks?
A)Onset of turbulent kinetic energy cascades✓
B)Gravitational potential energy conversion
C)Decreased fluid-dynamic impeller loading
D)Increased viscous friction force magnitude
💡 Explanation
Turbulence in unbaffled tanks causes energy dissipation via turbulent kinetic energy cascades, forming smaller vortices and ultimately heat because energy transfers across scales; therefore, hydraulic losses increase, rather than alternative states of gravitational equilibrium under laminar motion.
