Science

Which outcome manifests due to downstream turbulence created by cavitation?

A)Increased vessel wall erosion rate
B)Decreased propeller efficiency overall
C)Elevated engine operating temperature
D)Reduced fuel consumption at idle

💡 Explanation

Downstream turbulence generates localized vacuum collapses due to cavitation. Flow disruption causes higher impact pressures that increase erosion rates; therefore, wall erosion accelerates rather than temperature increases because heat capacity maintains a stable balance.
