← ScienceWhich consequence results when exceeding a pump's design flow-rate?
A)Increased localized pipe corrosion rate✓
B)Elevated motor winding temperatures occur
C)Positive pump static head is maintained
D)Ideal operational efficiency maintained
💡 Explanation
Exceeding design flow induces cavitation which collapses violently causing localized high stress resulting microscopic material removal i.e. increased corrosion rates within the impeller; this is Acoustic Cavitation. Therefore, option A describes fluid dynamics driving corrosion rates rather than head decline or maintaining efficiency.
