← ScienceWhich risk elevates near a marine propeller beyond design speed?
A)Cavitation-induced erosion escalates dramatically✓
B)Increased laminar flow boosts efficiency
C)Decreased shear stress enhances lubrication
D)Elevated density negates turbulent eddies
💡 Explanation
Cavitation increases with propeller speed because Bernoulli's principle dictates reduced pressure; vapor bubbles then collapse violently near the surface causing erosion, therefore cavitation raises pitting risk, rather than reduced friction or higher efficiency.
