← ScienceWhich effect increases when pump cavitation erodes an impeller?
A)Total head pressure decreases rapidly✓
B)Hydraulic efficiency increases gradually
C)Required Net Positive Suction head decreases
D)Flow becomes purely inviscid steadily
💡 Explanation
The total head decreases during cavitation because vapor bubble formation disrupts the liquid flow due to momentum change locally. Therefore, the impeller efficiency drops rapidly, rather than incrementally improving or maintaining idealized steady inviscid flow conditions.
