← ScienceWhich effect initiates component failure within high-speed mixing impellers?
A)Vortex shedding induces resonant vibration
B)Cavitation erosion increases surface roughness✓
C)Hydraulic jump generates localized pressure
D)Laminar separation causes lift reduction
💡 Explanation
Cavitation erosion causes impeller failure, because the intense pressure fluctuations from turbulent collapsing voids mechanically attack localized surfaces, rather than pressure alone. Therefore, cavitation increases erosion; rather than vortex shedding being dominant at that point.
