Which outcome occurs when a pump impeller operates significantly below its optimal Reynolds number?

💡 Explanation

Reduced impeller Reynolds number worsens viscous effects; this causes laminar boundary layer separation and stall, impacting the pump output’s volumetric efficiency because flow becomes unpredictable in the pump, therefore surging happens during pump rotation rather than smooth operation.
