← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a centrifugal pump's suction line generates substantial vapor via cavitation, negating Bernoulli's equation?
A)Reduced total dynamic head output✓
B)Increased fluid kinematic viscosity
C)Amplified net positive suction head
D)Elevated impeller mechanical efficiency
💡 Explanation
A reduced head results because the cavitation introduces vapor bubbles reducing the effective liquid volume; therefore the pumps can deliver less energy to the fluid passing through, rather than increasing fluid viscosity under normal conditions.
