← TechnologyWhich outcome negatively impacts submersible oil pump efficiency when cavitation occurs?
A)Increased bearing wear rates
B)Elevated motor winding temperature
C)Decreased fluid volumetric displacement✓
D)Stator insulation degradation rate
💡 Explanation
Reduced pump efficiency occurs because *cavitation* causes vapor bubbles to form and then collapse, thereby disrupting the impeller's *fluid dynamics*. This reduces the actual volume of fluid moved therefore decreasing the pump's ability to displace fluid rather than causing immediate motor failures.
