Which consequence occurs when pump inlet pressure drops excessively?

💡 Explanation

Cavitation erosion occurs because vaporization increases due to reduced inlet pressure. Specifically, Bernoulli's Equation describes pressure decreasing with increased fluid velocity, therefore bubbles form that violently collapse. This erodes the pump impeller, rather than increasing efficiency at low pressures.
