← ScienceWhich limitation arises applying Bernoulli's equation across a rapidly pulsating pump chamber?
A)Fluid inertia becomes quite significant✓
B)Pump materials undergo rapid corrosion
C)Reduced static pressure fluid heating
D)Increased cavitation damage propeller degradation
💡 Explanation
Fluid inertia prevents instantaneous pressure equalization within each pulse, because the **added mass effect** resists rapid fluid acceleration. Therefore inertia undermines Bernoulli's quasi-static assumption, rather than corrosion or pump efficiency decline in incompressible fluid.
