Which outcome is caused by exceeding Reynolds number inside rocket engine injectors?

A)Increased propellant mixing before combustion
B)Stable laminar propellant flow at all fuel
C)Reduced heat transfer from combustion gases
D)Uniform pressure distribution across injector face

💡 Explanation

Turbulent flow results due to high Reynolds number; therefore, propellant experiences intense mixing, enhancing combustion efficiency because the instabilities present in the flow increase interface area between oxidizer and fuel rather than maintaining laminar pathways.
