Which process diminishes pump efficiency during cryogenic liquid transfer?

💡 Explanation

Cavitation reduces pump efficiency due to the rapid pressure drops in the pump causing vapor bubbles; bubble formation happens via LIQUID-VAPOR PHASE TRANSITION. When these implode, they create concentrated energy pulses that damage the pump and generate noise because collapse is violent, therefore degrading pump performance, rather than improving it.
