← ScienceWhich risk increases when a pump impeller's rotation achieves high frequency?
A)Cavitation erosion on the blades✓
B)Reduced static pressure at inlet
C)Increased efficiency of fluid mixing
D)Decreased net positive suction head
💡 Explanation
Increased impeller frequency causes turbulence, leading to local pressure drops. Vapor bubbles form, and their subsequent collapse causes cavitation erosion because the implosion's force damages the impeller, therefore increased blade erosion rather than the listed alternatives.
