← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a gas furnace exceeds maximum flow?
A)Turbulent flow decreases burner efficiency✓
B)Reduced stack temperature lessens condensation
C)Increased viscosity stabilizes combustion range
D)Decreased methane concentration heightens convection
💡 Explanation
Turbulent flow decreases burner efficiency because the Reynolds number increases, causing a transition in the combustion airflow via increased kinetic energy dissipation within the fuel/air mix at the burner; therefore efficiency drops, rather than increased heat transfer via stack condensation.
