Which consequence results when a submersible pump experiences substantial two-phase flow?

💡 Explanation

Pump impeller fatigue crack formation accelerates due to cavitation: two-phase flow causes vapor bubbles to collapse violently on the impeller surfaces. This mechanical stress results in fatigue cracking, rather than alternative electrical or thermal failures, because of the high frequency of impacts.
