Which limit is reached when a positive displacement pump, moving a viscous fluid through long piping, experiences high frequency hydraulic fluctuations?

💡 Explanation

Cavitation occurs because the increased fluid viscosity requires high pump inlet velocity, causing localized formation of vapor bubbles due to pressure drop below fluid vapor pressure; therefore, cavitation inception occurs rather than simple reduced efficiency or overheating, which have different underlying causes.
