In microfluidic channels, the fluid flow is predominantly:

(i) Turbulent
(ii) Transitional
(iii) Laminar
(iv) Inviscid

Worked SolutionAI Assisted

Answer: (iii) Laminar

Microfluidic flows generally have low Reynolds numbers because channel dimensions and flow velocities are small. Therefore, viscous forces dominate inertial forces and the flow is predominantly laminar, with little turbulent mixing.
