← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when anti-cavitation control fails in high-speed hydraulic pumps?
A)Increased erosion of pump impellers✓
B)Reduced fluid bulk modulus
C)Elevated system operating pressures
D)Decreased actuator response latency
💡 Explanation
Cavitation causes erosion because bubble implosions near the impeller surface create micro-jets that damage the material. Therefore, impeller surfaces are damaged rather than bulk properties changing, because the implosions concentrate energy locally.
