← ScienceWhich mechanical consequence results when exceeding a valve's flow capacity?
A)Severe vibration due to cavitation✓
B)Increased static pressure downstream
C)Decreased pipe wall heat transfer
D)Improved laminar flow characteristics
💡 Explanation
Exceeding a valve's flow capacity leads to a sudden pressure drop, causing vapor bubbles because the cavitation mechanism; therefore these bubbles collapse violently. This creates intense localized pressure waves rather than laminar flow or less heat transfer.
