Which risk increases when laminar flow transitions to turbulence in a microfluidic reactor?

A)Reduced separation efficiency✓

B)Enhanced heat transfer rates

C)Decreased mixing times

D)Predictable fluid path

💡 Explanation

Reduced separation efficiency increases because the onset of turbulence disrupts predictable streamlines, resulting in Dispersion processes dominating rather than laminar advection-based separation; therefore separation becomes inefficient, rather than enhanced mixing within the microreactor.
