Which consequence results when excessive pump speed generates turbulence within a centrifugal pump?

💡 Explanation

Cavitation erosion results because increased turbulence lowers local pressure below vapor pressure, creating bubbles whose collapse erodes the volute by cavitation; therefore damage happens rather than thrust increases because of different internal pressure distributions.
