← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when reverse flow arises within centrifugal pumps?
A)System pressure becomes dangerously unstable✓
B)Efficiency instantly improves noticeably always
C)Cavitation effects reduce drastically too
D)Pump head is only linearly affected
💡 Explanation
System vibrations become unsustainable, because reverse flow induces impeller stalling: a form of fluid instability that generates significant pressure and flow fluctuations. Therefore, the system pressure becomes unstable rather than maintaining stable operation, a more direct consequence of forward flow operation.
