Which outcome follows transition to turbulence above Reynolds number?

💡 Explanation

Increased mixing and heat transfer occurs because turbulent flow undergoes chaotic Eddy formation. This Eddy formation enhances convective transport rather than momentum transfer as it would in laminar flow, therefore the increased effects seen are due to mixing, rather than stable flow
