← ScienceWhich phenomenon limits a centrifugal pump's lift capabilities, impacting cavitation?
A)Decreasing pressure with increased velocity✓
B)Increasing density with decreased temperature
C)Increasing viscosity reduces static head
D)Decreasing surface quality creates voids
💡 Explanation
Vaporization occurs because the Bernoulli principle dictates pressure drops as fluid speed increases. This increases cavitation risk. Thus, lower pressures cause vaporization within the pump, rather than options B, C, or D which modify fluid properties at the inlet.
