Which risk increases when laminar flow transitions to turbulence within a chemical mixing tank?

A)Increased impeller shear stress
B)Decreased chemical reaction rate
C)Enhanced uniform heat transfer
D)Reduced overall mixing time

💡 Explanation

Increased impeller shear stress occurs because the onset of turbulence generates high-frequency pressure fluctuations. The mechanism is turbulent dissipation of energy. Therefore, impeller stress increases, rather than improved mixing or heat transfer because laminar flow gives controlled conditions.
