← ScienceWhich phenomenon increases when a jet engine experiences turbulence?
A)Heat transfer coefficient✓
B)Laminar boundary thickness
C)Propulsive efficiency rise
D)Hydraulic diameter decrease
💡 Explanation
Increased turbulence enhances mixing and momentum transfer, enhancing the convective heat transfer coefficient of the system by disrupting the laminar sublayer; therefore the heat transfer increases, rather than the laminar area decreasing because turbulence mixes the flows.
