← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when exceeding the critical Reynolds number in fluid flow through an aircraft fuel pump?
A)Turbulence induces cavitation erosion✓
B)Laminar flow increases pump efficiency
C)Pressure gradient stabilizes flow
D)Kinetic energy converts to potential
💡 Explanation
Exceeding the Reynolds number causes the mechanism of turbulent flow, creating regions of low pressure and vapor bubbles; therefore cavitation erosion increases rapidly, rather than stable laminar flow which would require lower velocities and viscosity.
