A pump system designed to transport water in an industrial setting is experiencinga reduced flow rate despite operating at full capacity. What could be a likely cause of thisissue?A. The pump impeller is oversized for the system requirements.B. There is an air leak in the suction side of the pump.C. The fluid viscosity has significantly decreased.D. The discharge valve is fully closed.
