Which outcome arises when flow velocity increases locally in a venturi meter exceeding design parameters?

💡 Explanation

Cavitation occurs because an increase in velocity causes a pressure drop, according to Bernoulli's equation. Therefore, the liquid vaporizes, forming bubbles. This outcome occurs rather than increased pressure because the kinetic energy elevates.
