← ScienceWhich limitation arises when pump flow rates exceed design specifications?
A)Fluid cavitation induces component erosion
B)Reduced static head produces less pressure
C)Volumetric efficiency generates overflow losses
D)Turbulence accelerates impeller bearing failure✓
💡 Explanation
Increased pump flow exceeding design causes localized turbulence, a chaotic flow regime characterized by increased velocity fluctuations; therefore, bearing wear accelerates because increased vibration and stress on the bearings occurs more often, rather than other options relating only to head pressure.
