Which risk increases where pump cavitation erodes impeller blades?

💡 Explanation

Fluctuating flow increases because vapor bubbles from cavitation collapse suddenly via the **Rayleigh-Plesset equation**, generating powerful localized jets; therefore, flow becomes erratic, rather than predictable declines under different conditions.
