Formation of Cavitation
Explain the reason behind formation of the Cavitation in the Centrifugal Pump and not in the Displacement Pump?
Expert
Formation of the cavities or the bubbles is invoked by the flow separation, or non-uniform flow velocities, inside the pump casing. In the centrifugal pumps, eye of pump impeller is smaller in comparison to the flow area of pipe. This decrease in the flow area of pump causes the increase in flow rate. So the pressure drops occurred between pump suction and vanes of the impeller. Air bubbles or the cavities are formed due to the liquid vapour because of the increase in the temperature in impeller. This air bubbles are transmitted to the pump that forms the cavitation.
The pump illustrated in the figure adds 20 kW of power to the flowing water. The only vital loss is that which takes place across the filter at the inlet of the pump. Find out the head loss for this filter. Note that the gage pressure upstream of the filter is negativ
