← ScienceWhich risk increases drastically in a hydraulic system when fluid velocity solutions diverge radically from the Navier-Stokes equation?
A)Erosion due to increased lubricity
B)Cavitation forming micro-jet impacts✓
C)Seizure of rotary vane components
D)Additive precipitation blocking narrow channels
💡 Explanation
A turbulent flow regime yields increased risk of cavitation bubbles because decreases in pressure cause regions of the fluid to vaporize. This process is driven by the Bernoulli effect, therefore cavitation occurs, rather than smooth or steady fluid flow.
