← ScienceWhich outcome results when a pump exceeds cavitation number thresholds?
A)Impeller pitting, decreased pumping capabilities✓
B)Increased flow, reduced energy consumption
C)Higher pressure, stable fluid dynamics
D)Enhanced lubrication, minimized component friction
💡 Explanation
Exceeding the cavitation number threshold generates vapor bubbles. Vaporization causes the mechanism of bubble collapse, therefore physical damage to the impeller occurs, rather than stable flow, because the collapsing bubbles create high-energy microjets that erode the surface.
