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.
How we can prevent the excess discharge pressure?
Water flows via a control volume as illustrated in the figure below. At Section (1) the diameter is 40 mm and the velocity profile is given by the V(r) = 10 (4 – r2) m/s, here r is the distance from the centerline. At Section (2) the mass flow r

Hello, is the following project possible.
A stone quarry in a remote part of the world requires that stone blocks of 3 cubic feet in volume be moved up a 50 ft long ramp which is inclined at 30 degrees. Since the location is remote, the blocks must be moved usng human power. On a continuous basis, human power
Cotter joint: These kinds of joints are employed to connect two rods that are under compressive or tensile stress. The ends of rods are in the way of a socket and shaft which fit altogether and the cotter is driven into a slot which is common to both
From Bernoulli's equation we know that presure head + velocity head at inlet and outlet header is same. If so what is ' W' then in the equation ?
