Which outcome results when a pump exceeds cavitation number thresholds?

💡 Explanation

Exceeding the cavitation number threshold generates vapor bubbles. Vaporization causes the mechanism of bubble collapse, therefore physical damage to the impeller occurs, rather than stable flow, because the collapsing bubbles create high-energy microjets that erode the surface.
