← ScienceWhich risk increases when flow transitions to turbulence?
A)Premature pump cavitation✓
B)Increased heat transfer efficiency
C)Decreased drag coefficient
D)Laminar boundary layer stability
💡 Explanation
Premature pump cavitation is more likely because a sudden pressure drop from increased eddy formation reduces local pressure. Therefore cavitation occurs sooner, rather than smooth pressure gradients developing, impacting the impeller in laminar flow.
