Which outcome results when a non-Newtonian fluid, like paint, experiences high shear stress in a manufacturing turbine mixer?

A)Decreased viscosity due to shear thinning✓

B)Increased thermal expansion coefficient value

C)Cavitation erosion of impeller blades

D)Increased fluid density, causing sedimentation

💡 Explanation

Decreased viscosity occurs because *shear thinning* reduces resistance to flow under stress leading to improved mixing; therefore, paint viscosity drops, rather than thickening or causing cavitation because of flow dynamics.
