Which mechanical failure occurs when hydraulic system flow violates Bernoulli's equation?

A)Pump cavitation and reduced effectiveness
B)Increased fluid viscosity and drag
C)Valve lockup due to thermal expansion
D)Seal rupture from friction generated heat

💡 Explanation

Pump cavitation occurs because fluid pressure drops locally according to Bernoulli's equation at constrictions, leading to vapor bubble formation; therefore cavitation damages pump components; rather than viscosity increases or thermal effects which are secondary.
