Which consequence results when prolonged turbulent flow erodes a pump impeller?

A)Increased cavitation risk downstream
B)Bearing lubrication failure increases rapidly
C)Surge tank pressure oscillation grows
D)Efficiency decreases under laminar transition

💡 Explanation

Increased cavitation risk occurs, because the **turbulent boundary layer separation** grows larger as the impeller roughens; therefore pressure drops locally intensify and causes cavitation, rather than improved lubrication or stabilized pressure oscillation.
