← ScienceWhich undesirable mechanism reduces efficiency inside a pump?
A)Cavitation damage from turbulent flows✓
B)Centrifugal force increasing water head
C)Improved laminar impeller boundary efficiency
D)Minimized viscous boundary layer separation
💡 Explanation
Cavitation worsens due to the amplification caused by turbulence inside specific regions within the pump. The pressure drops locally and imploding vapor bubbles damage impeller surfaces, rather than improved function, because minimizing viscous losses enhances it.
