← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when increasing jet fuel flow through a pipe vastly exceeds the established Reynolds number for laminar flow?
A)Induced cavitation erodes impeller surfaces✓
B)Viscous drag force acting decreases linearly
C)Shear lock reduces pump efficiency
D)Pressure recovery becomes more consistent
💡 Explanation
Induced cavitation erosion increases because excess flow rates transition flow into turbulence at restrictors which creates low pressure zones promoting bubble formation via Bernoulli principle, therefore cavitation erodes any boundary rather than pressure recovery under laminar flow.
