← ScienceWhich effect accompanies cavitation-induced turbulence in centrifugal pumps?
A)Dramatic head pressure drop and vibration✓
B)Increased hydrostatic bearing lifespan
C)Improved pump efficiency and power
D)Decreased energy consumption by design
💡 Explanation
Cavitation creates vapor bubbles. The implosion of these bubbles generates turbulence; this causes pressure drops and severe vibration because localized high-energy events disrupt flow, therefore head pressure drops and severe vibration will occur, rather than efficiency improvements, which require laminar flow.
