← ScienceWhich fluid behavior arises when impeller speed increases excessively?
A)Cavitation damage increases significantly✓
B)Mixing becomes increasingly laminar
C)Static pressure rises uniformly
D)Viscosity effects are neutralized initially
💡 Explanation
Cavitation occurs because localized pressure drops below the liquid’s vapor pressure due to high fluid velocities. Therefore voids instantly form when impeller speed increases and violently collapse, causing cavitation damage, rather than laminar flow that requires very low Reynold's number.
