← ScienceWhich result occurs when a centrifugal pump experiences cavitation?
A)Increased impeller erosion and vibration✓
B)Improved pump efficiency and cooling
C)Decreased fluid viscosity and density
D)Stable fluid flow and static pressure
💡 Explanation
Cavitation causes increased impeller erosion and vibration because `vapor-bubble implosion` occurs when local pressure drops below the fluid's vapor pressure. This causes damage; therefore option A, rather than improved performance, results, because cavitation disrupts flow.
