← ScienceWhich consequence results when a Venturi meter experiences cavitation?
A)Inaccurate flow rate measurement occurs✓
B)Increased fluid kinematic viscosity results
C)Decreased boundary layer effects arise
D)Laminar flow profiles become prominent
💡 Explanation
Cavitation introduces vapor bubbles, disrupting the pressure differential driving flow measurement; this is *vaporization*, in application of Bernoulli's principle. Inaccurate flow rate measurement occurs therefore, rather than viscosity increase or laminar flow because these do not directly result from cavitation.
