Which consequence results when Reynolds number exceeds a pump threshold?

💡 Explanation

Cavitation risk dramatically increases in pumps when the Reynolds number indicates highly turbulent, high-velocity flow near the impeller, because this leads to reduced pressure which can cause boiling. Therefore, the impeller erodes, rather than pump efficiency improving under cavitation pressure.
