← TechnologyWhich outcome happens when a centrifugal pump experiences localized boiling?
A)Mechanical energy converts to enthalpy
B)Compressor loses its volumetric efficiency✓
C)Exhaust temperature dramatically decreases
D)Increased stator winding insulation breakdown
💡 Explanation
Cavitation erodes pump components and leads to performance loss because vapor bubbles collapse violently impinging the impeller. The implosions dramatically lower volumetric efficiency, therefore a loss of compressor output occurs rather than temperature decreases or a change in thermal behavior.
