Which outcome increases the risk of cavitation in a hydraulic pump supplying pressurized coolant to an induction furnace?

💡 Explanation

When inlet pressure drops below vapor pressure, cavitation occurs because the liquid locally boils creating bubbles collapsing violently at higher pressure regions, resulting in mechanical damage. Therefore, coolant filter blockage results, rather than viscosity problems, low furnace power, or accumulator failure which have alternate outcomes.
