Which consequence results when localized boiling occurs in fluid?

💡 Explanation

Localized boiling that occurs inside a pump at low pressures leads to cavitation; the vapor bubbles collapse violently nearby surfaces due to increased pressures forming microjets and shockwaves. Therefore leading to material pitting, rather than pressure stabilization or laminar flow.
