Which outcome happens when a centrifugal pump experiences localized boiling?

💡 Explanation

Cavitation erodes pump components and leads to performance loss because vapor bubbles collapse violently impinging the impeller. The implosions dramatically lower volumetric efficiency, therefore a loss of compressor output occurs rather than temperature decreases or a change in thermal behavior.
