Cavitation in a pump creates so many undesirable effects. Out of the following, which is not an undesirable effect created by cavitation ?
Correct answer: A. Develops high pressure
- A. Develops high pressure
- B. Increase in thrust
- C. Develops noise
- D. Decrease in effect
Explanation
Cavitation commonly causes efficiency loss, noise, vibration, thrust fluctuations, and mechanical damage, but it does not produce a beneficial or sustained high-pressure development. Hence high pressure is the listed non-effect.
