← ScienceWhich risk increases within a pump when cavitation initiates?
A)Impeller erosion due to bubble collapse✓
B)Increased lubrication system effectiveness
C)Enhanced pump efficiency characteristics
D)Decreased pump motor power consumption
💡 Explanation
Cavitation generates vapor bubbles which collapse violently; therefore, excessive energy is released locally and causes material erosion because of the **Raleigh collapse**, rather than improved efficiency or reduced power consumption, which are suppressed by high internal turbulence.
