← ScienceWhich outcome results when applying Bernoulli's equation across a centrifugal pump undergoing cavitation?
A)Pump head exhibits a sharp decline✓
B)Efficiency increases due to lower viscosity
C)Stable vapor pressure is maintained inside
D)Increased flow rate after the impeller
💡 Explanation
Severe efficiency drop occurs because cavitation creates vapor bubbles collapsing violently; the pump cannot maintain pressure. The mechanism behind this is vaporisation due to reduced static pressure, therefore pump head declines rapidly, rather than improving viscosity or flow.
