Which outcome results when applying Bernoulli's equation across a centrifugal pump undergoing cavitation?

💡 Explanation

Severe efficiency drop occurs because cavitation creates vapor bubbles collapsing violently; the pump cannot maintain pressure. The mechanism behind this is vaporisation due to reduced static pressure, therefore pump head declines rapidly, rather than improving viscosity or flow.
