Which risk drastically increases for a cryogenic pump when experiencing two-phase flow?

💡 Explanation

Cavitation erosion becomes extreme with two-phase flow in cryogenic pumps because vapor bubbles collapse violently during **nucleate boiling**. This increased bubble formation subjects the pump impeller to intense micro-jets, therefore causing much higher material removal rather than single-phase fluid flow alone.
