Which risk increases when laminar flow transitions to turbulence within a pump?

A)Increased impeller blade cavitation erosion
B)Decreased pump head pressure output
C)Higher net positive suction head
D)Lower overall pump efficiency initially

💡 Explanation

Increased turbulence introduces localized low-pressure zones, leading to bubble formation and collapse via cavitation; therefore, impeller blade erosion increases because cavitation implosions damage material rather than a smooth flow decrease the pump's output.
