Which outcome occurs when turbulent flow exceeds 4000 Reynolds?

💡 Explanation

An increase in dissipation occurs because, above 4000 Reynolds, increasing turbulence causes heightened shear stress through viscous forces; therefore, more kinetic energy is transferred into internal energy, rather than drag reduction, which might occur differently at lower Reynolds numbers.
