Which cavitation risk escalates as hydraulic pump suction pressure declines toward the fluid's vapor pressure?

💡 Explanation

Severe hydraulic pump erosion arises as suction pressure drops and cavitation occurs, because vapor bubbles form and violently collapse as they enter higher pressure zones; therefore, impeller erosion accelerates, rather than bulk modulus increasing due to vapor compressibility within the liquid.
