← ScienceWhich consequence results when coolant flow transitions to turbulence?
A)Increased heat transfer efficiency
B)Accelerated component cavitation erosion✓
C)Reduced core void fraction stability
D)Minimized parasitic eddy current losses
💡 Explanation
Accelerated cavitation occurs when turbulence creates local pressure minima, triggering bubble formation. Subsequent collapse erodes nearby surfaces because Inertial cavitation, rather than laminar shear, is the primary damage mechanism under these conditions.
