Which outcome primarily triggers a pump cavitation when increasing speed beyond design limits?

💡 Explanation

Exceeding design speed can lead to a Reynolds number that surpasses the critical value; laminar flow becomes turbulent. The result is decreased pressure leading to vapor bubble formation due to increased energy loss, which creates cavitation, rather than laminar conditions.
