Which mechanism decreases efficiency when a viscous fluid flows through a narrow microfluidic channel constrained by high-frequency oscillating pressure?

💡 Explanation

Viscous dissipation arises because internal friction converts kinetic energy into heat; increased oscillation frequency enhances the shear rate, promoting dissipation, therefore decreasing efficiency, rather than capillary actions or convective behavior that are less significant contributions.
