Which risk increases when pump impeller speed exceeds design constraints?

💡 Explanation

Fluid dynamic cavitation increases because, at high speeds, Bernoulli's equation shows pressure drops rapidly. Therefore, local vaporization occurs rather than streamline flow; different impeller designs prevent this at high Reynolds numbers.
