← ScienceWhich risk increases when pump impeller speed exceeds design constraints?
A)Reduced net positive suction head
B)Increased fluid dynamic cavitation✓
C)Decreased boundary layer separation
D)Elevated system's Reynolds number
💡 Explanation
Fluid dynamic cavitation increases because, at high speeds, Bernoulli's equation shows pressure drops rapidly. Therefore, local vaporization occurs rather than streamline flow; different impeller designs prevent this at high Reynolds numbers.
