🔍 Key Concepts

• Rotary pump operating limits and what happens when you exceed them • How velocity and friction affect metal surfaces inside pumps • Typical failure modes in pumps: cavitation, erosion, wear, and clearances

💭 Think About

• When a pump is run faster than designed, what happens to internal forces, heat, and flow on metal surfaces? • Which choice describes a damage mechanism over time, rather than an immediate change in geometry or flow idealization? • Think about which option would be most likely to show up during maintenance and inspection of an over‑sped pump.

✅ Before You Answer

• Check which answer best reflects long-term damage rather than a short-term operational condition. • Eliminate any option that sounds like a precise mechanical adjustment that wouldn’t normally result from abuse or overspeed. • Ask: If I were a marine engineer opening a pump that has been chronically over‑sped, what visible condition would I most likely report in the logbook?
