I would like to ask you about engineering use of English, and comparison of some words with respect to their nuances. I would like to completely understand the nuances between words, especially with respect to engineering use.
Would you please explain the difference between "transition", "changeover", "passing" and "transformation" for the following sentences. 1 is the original from "Fundamentals of Heat and Mass Transfer" by Bergman\Lavine\Incropera\Dewitt.
Especially the option 3 seems to me to be correct. But are the other options wrong? They all seems to me to be possible.
1. The transition from laminar to turbulent flow is ultimately due to triggering mechanisms, such as the interaction of unsteady flow structures that develop naturally within the fluid or small disturbances that exist within many typical boundary layers.
2. The changeover from laminar to turbulent flow is ultimately due to triggering mechanisms, such as the interaction of unsteady flow structures that develop naturally within the fluid or small disturbances that exist within many typical boundary layers.
3. The passing from laminar to turbulent flow is ultimately due to triggering mechanisms, such as the interaction of unsteady flow structures that develop naturally within the fluid or small disturbances that exist within many typical boundary layers.
4. The transformation from laminar to turbulent flow is ultimately due to triggering mechanisms, such as the interaction of unsteady flow structures that develop naturally within the fluid or small disturbances that exist within many typical boundary layers.

Thank you.
