← ScienceWhich outcome causes erratic droplet formation in inkjet printing when the system approaches high throughput limits?
A)Capillary wave amplification occurs
B)Fluid inertia overwhelms viscosity✓
C)Piezoelectric fatigue becomes prevalent
D)Nozzle clogging by dried ink
💡 Explanation
At high throughputs, inertia increases relative to viscous forces. Therefore, transition to turbulence dominates because the Reynolds number exceeds a dimensionless critical value, rather than capillary waves or clogging which occur through surface tension or evaporation.
