Which risk rapidly escalates downstream when hydraulic systems experience turbulence?

A)Increased fluid bulk temperature
B)Accelerated component cavitation erosion
C)Decreased internal pipe strain
D)Diminished pump volumetric efficiency

💡 Explanation

Cavitation increases because turbulence introduces pressure fluctuations causing vapor bubble formation via the Bernoulli principle. This 'vaporization' collapses violently, eroding the material rather than simply increasing temperature, improving efficiency, or decreasing pipe strain under stable conditions.
