← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when cryogenic liquid flows past a pump impeller exhibiting surface roughness?
A)Formation of cavitation-induced turbulence✓
B)Laminar flow state augmentation
C)Increased fluid thermodynamic efficiency
D)Reduced pump energy consumption values
💡 Explanation
Cavitation-induced turbulence occurs, because boiling due to localized pressure drops causes vapor bubbles collapse which creates violent turbulent regions. High turbulence then reduces pump performance rather than decreasing energy use; therefore this answer is accurate rather than alternatives under stable conditions.
