← ScienceWhich consequence results when the static pressure reaches vapor pressure in pump, as described using Bernoulli's equation?
A)Increased pump efficiency achieved
B)Unstable equilibrium state established
C)Fluid cavitation damage occurs✓
D)Reduced turbulent eddy viscosity seen
💡 Explanation
Fluid cavitation causes damage due to vapor bubble formation and collapse, because the pressure falls leading to the bubbles. Vapour formation is a phase change according to Bernoulli's equation. Therefore, material erodes, rather than efficiency gains because pressure differences collapse bubbles as it recompresses.
