Which outcome occurs when pump flow exceeds design limits?

💡 Explanation

Exceeding design flow causes strong pressure gradients and localized boiling due to increased kinetic energy input; this leads to cavitation, where bubble collapse causes vibrational energy and erosion, because the increased fluid speed induces turbulent flow, rather than smooth laminar flow and balanced pressure.
