Which outcome occurs when a hydraulic pump operates with an insufficiently filled reservoir?

💡 Explanation

Insufficient fluid causes vapor bubbles to form and collapse violently during **cavitation**, eroding the pump's impeller. This occurs because reduced inlet pressure vaporizes the fluid, therefore cavitation occurs, rather than efficient pumping.
