Which outcome results when exceeding pump's Net Positive Suction Head Required (NPSHR)?

💡 Explanation

When the available suction pressure falls below NPSHR, the vapor pressure falls as boiling occurs— cavitation. This destabilizes the pump performance as the liquid vaporizes, rather than thermal energy conversion only heating the liquid because momentum increases and affects pressure.
