In a cryogenic pump circulating liquid helium, which failure results when internal seals degrade?

💡 Explanation

Decreased volumetric efficiency results from seal degradation because leak-back occurs, where pumped fluid recirculates within the pump via internal leakage, therefore less fluid reaches the outlet, rather than optimized impeller flow or reduced losses.
