Which 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.
