← ScienceWhich outcome during high-shear mixing occurs when fluid Reynolds number increases?
A)Dominant viscous damping of fluid
B)Stable, predictable laminar flow regime
C)Transition towards turbulent flow dominance✓
D)Reduced impeller power consumption greatly
💡 Explanation
Increased speeds result in turbulent flow; because at higher Reynolds numbers, inertial forces overcome viscous forces, therefore, the flow transitions towards turbulent flow rather than remaining laminar as mixing energy overcomes damping from viscosity.
