Which failure occurs in cryogenic pumps because dissolved atmospheric gases precipitate?

💡 Explanation

Vapor lock induced cavitation occurs; dissolved gases exiting solution form bubbles that then collapse with great force on the metal. This occurs because lowered vapor pressure decreases gas solubility therefore cavitation, rather than the other mechanical failures, is most immediate.
