← ScienceWhich risk increases as process fluid viscosity decreases in pipework?
A)Increased laminar flow likelihood
B)Greater pump cavitation likelihood✓
C)Reduced flow-induced vibration risk
D)Decreased static pressure drop value
💡 Explanation
Lower viscosity increases pump cavitation likelihood because the increased fluid velocity causes lower static pressure at the pump suction, enabling vapor formation via cavitation; therefore pump cavitation is more likely now, rather than reduced vibration issues.
