Which outcome occurs when a cryogenic fluid pump experiences unexpected cavitation?

💡 Explanation

Cavitation causes pump efficiency to drop because the rapid vaporization forms vapor bubbles; vapor displaces liquid, causing energy losses via turbulent dissipation, therefore reduced pump performance occurs, rather than increased cooling or pressure increase.
