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.
A horizontal pipe of dimension 540 mm diameter carrying 0.6 m3/s splits into two horizontal pipes of 300 mm diameter with 60% of the flow and another of 150 mm diameter with 40% of the flow. Find out the magnitude and direction of the force

Out of Centrifugal Pump or the Reciprocating Pump, which pump is more efficient?
A diesel engine operates devoid of a spark plug by using the high-temperature gas produced throughout the compression stage to ignite the fuel. During a typical compression, pure air that is originally at 21 °C and 0.95 bar is reversibly and adiabatically compress
