← ScienceWhich mode ensues when Reynolds number elevates excessively?
A)Laminar transitioning to turbulent flow✓
B)Fluid's viscosity becoming nearly zero
C)Fluid temperature spontaneously equilibrating
D)Molecular kinetic energy decreasing steadily
💡 Explanation
Transition to turbulent flow occurs because inertial forces overwhelm viscous forces. Streamlines randomize during the transition, therefore, turbulence increases, rather than flow simplifying; viscous forces remain relevant under high flow, and temperature equilibria are externally driven.
