Which consequence results during pump operation when net positive suction head available falls below a design number?

💡 Explanation

Reduced suction head leads to cavitation because the fluid vaporizes at the impeller inlet reducing the local pressure. Therefore, cavitation collapse causes mechanical erosion and pump impeller fatigue rather than increased load or viscosity changes which occur under different conditions.
