Which consequence results when exceeding a pump's allowed Net Positive Suction Head (NPSH) due to vaporization?

💡 Explanation

Cavitation occurs when the absolute pressure falls below the fluid's vapor pressure; therefore vapor bubbles form and collapse violently near the impeller surface through the mechanism of fluid vaporization, therefore causing damage and reduced efficiency, rather than altering fluid properties.
