← TechnologyWhich cavitation risk escalates as hydraulic pump suction pressure declines toward the fluid's vapor pressure?
A)Impeller erosion rate accelerates sharply✓
B)System bulk modulus instantly increases
C)Valve response time consistently decreases
D)Fluid temperature coefficient nearly neutralizes
💡 Explanation
Severe hydraulic pump erosion arises as suction pressure drops and cavitation occurs, because vapor bubbles form and violently collapse as they enter higher pressure zones; therefore, impeller erosion accelerates, rather than bulk modulus increasing due to vapor compressibility within the liquid.
