← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when rapid vaporization inside pump introduces cavitation?
A)Pressure drops induce localized boiling✓
B)Fluid viscosity drastically increases shear
C)Turbulence efficiently reduces hydraulic friction
D)Pump efficiently compresses non-condensable gases
💡 Explanation
Rapid vaporization can cause substantial pressure drops thereby inducing localized boiling as the liquid transitions to gas due to cavitation; therefore, damage to the impeller can occur, rather than viscosity increasing or compressing gases, which are alternative effects.
